Awards
This page starts with the site's own WAA-based award picks for each season since 1876.
Official awards still matter here as context. They show where baseball history agreed, disagreed, or simply used different standards.
Sim award
The overall yearly leader in total wins, across both leagues.
| Player | League | Primary Pos | Total Wins |

Each card compares the site's League MVP with the official MVP for that league, using total wins for both players so the disagreement is visible immediately.
For 1931 and later, the official side shown here is the BBWAA MVP.

Official context
Official awards remain here as comparison material. They help show where the site's value-based results line up with baseball history and where they do not.
This yearly view trims weekly and monthly awards so the larger official picture is easier to read.
When this year includes an MVP-type award, the label reflects the historical form of the official award for that era.
