The Commissioner's Trophy is a trophy presented each year by the commissioner of baseball to Major League Baseball's (MLB) World Series champion. The trophy depicts flags representing each team in Major League Baseball.[1][2] It is the only championship trophy of the major professional sports leagues in the United States and Canada in North America that is not named after a particular person[3] (contrasting with the National Hockey League's Stanley Cup,[4] Major League Soccer's Philip F. Anschutz Trophy,[5] the National Basketball Association's Larry O'Brien Championship Trophy,[6] and the National Football League's Vince Lombardi Trophy).[7]
