List of Major League Baseball awards

 * Nominator(s): KV5  ( Talk  •  Phils ) 22:59, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

I am nominating this for featured list because I think it is complete and meets the criteria. It has had a peer review, at which several references were added and some formatting issues were corrected. Due to my current situation, I may be slower to respond than normal to comments, but I appreciate any that are made and will make every effort to address them through correction or rationale. This is a different style of list from many of my nominations in that it is not a table format; however, I feel that the current format does a better job of explaining the awards themselves as an appropriate lead article for the forthcoming topic, entitled "Awards in Major League Baseball". The criteria for inclusion of this list are determined by using the awards pages from the official Major League Baseball website, so there are some baseball awards, included those presented to Major League Baseball players, that are not included. These are the "official" awards; this topic will (hopefully) someday become a subtopic of a larger, overarching topic of all baseball awards. This is the first step. Have at it! Disclaimer: As the playoffs continue, some of the awards and recipients may change during the course of this nomination. Because the awards are presented at different times of the year and at different points throughout the offseason, it is difficult to find a time when any of the awards does not have a change forthcoming within a few weeks. So, we will roll with it for the time being. KV5 ( Talk  •  Phils ) 22:59, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

Dab - there is one dab link; see —  Chris! c / t 01:32, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Looks like someone else fixed it. KV5  ( Talk  •  Phils ) 11:54, 27 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Support - I think this is nicely written. Besides, I can't see any problem, so that's why I support.— Chris! c / t 00:40, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

Weak support – The only reason I'm not offering a full support is that the 2009 award winners are in the process of being announced; questions about stability could result from this. I'm sure KV will keep everything properly updated, though, so I will provide a partial backing. Everything else appears in order now.  Giants2008  ( 27 and counting ) 21:06, 11 November 2009 (UTC)
 * I will do my best. Gold Gloves were announced yesterday and today and are already updated; post-season MVPs are done to the best of my knowledge, and I think the Silver Sluggers are tomorrow and Friday. KV5  ( Talk  •  Phils ) 21:25, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

So why aren't all the winners of the Warren C. Giles Trophy and the William Harridge Trophy listed? Dabomb87 (talk) 03:05, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Because there's no information available (that I could find, anyway) on when they were first presented under those names. I could put a "see also" to the lists of NL and AL pennant winners, which are separate from this list. They, however, are broken down by eras, and the more recent lists of winners are available by clicking through to the NLCS and ALCS, respectively, because that's where the list of pennant winners since 1969 live.

 * A seealso link to the appropriate articles would be nice, if possible. Dabomb87 (talk) 00:42, 6 November 2009 (UTC)
 * 'Tis done, good sir. KV5  ( Talk  •  Phils ) 01:30, 6 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Good, thanks. Next thing: the position abbreviations in the "current holder" tables need explaining (preferably a key, but I suppose links will do too). Dabomb87 (talk) 13:59, 6 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Done. KV5  ( Talk  •  Phils ) 14:24, 6 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Just a note, since you're probably already aware, but ref 21 (BBHOF) is dead. It won't hold up promotion, but be sure to fix it when you can. Dabomb87 (talk) 03:42, 17 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks for catching that; I didn't realize there were any links to the HOF website in here. Replaced with a link to the ESPN Baseball Encyclopedia. KV5  ( Talk  •  Phils ) 13:05, 17 November 2009 (UTC)
