The Baseball Writers Association of America overwhelmingly voted in favor of removing the name of Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis from the MVP awards for both the American and National Leagues, it was announced Friday. Of the 313 votes tallied, 89% voted in favor of removing Landis' name from the awards. The MVP plaques will be nameless in 2020. Earlier this year, former NL MVPs Barry Larkin, Mike Schmidt and Terry Pendleton told The Associated Press they would favor removing Landis' name because of concerns over his handling of Black players.
