Major League Baseball All - Star Game Most Valuable player award - wikipedia Major League Baseball All - Star Game Most Valuable player award Willie Mays ( NL ) was the first player to win more than one All - Star Game MVP Award ( 1963, 1968 ). The Major League Baseball All - Star Game Most Valuable Player ( MVP ) Award is an annual Major League Baseball ( MLB ) award which is presented to the most outstanding player in each year 's MLB All - Star Game. Awarded each season since 1962 ( two games were held and an award was presented to each game winner in 1962 ), it was originally called the `` Arch Ward Memorial Award '' in honor of Arch Ward, the man who conceived of the All - Star Game in 1933. The award 's name was changed to the `` Commissioner 's Trophy '' in 1970 ( two National League ( NL ) players were presented the award in 1975 ), but this name change was reversed in 1985 when the World Series Trophy was renamed the Commissioner 's Trophy. Finally, the trophy was renamed the Ted Williams Most Valuable Player Award in 2002, in honor of former Boston Red Sox player Ted Williams, who had died earlier that year. No award was presented for the 2002 All - Star Game, which ended in a tie. Thus, the Anaheim Angels ' Garret Anderson was the first recipient of the newly named Ted Williams Award in 2003. The All - Star Game Most Valuable Player also receives a Chevrolet vehicle, choosing between two cars. As of 2018, NL players have won the award 27 times ( including one award shared by two players ), and American League ( AL ) players have won 30 times. Baltimore Orioles players have won the most awards for a single franchise ( with six ) ; players from the Cincinnati Reds, Los Angeles Dodgers and San Francisco Giants are tied for the most in the NL with five each. Five players have won the award twice : Willie Mays ( 1963, 1968 ), Steve Garvey ( 1974, 1978 ), Gary Carter ( 1981, 1984 ), Cal Ripken, Jr. ( 1991, 2001 ), and Mike Trout ( 2014, 2015 ). The award has been shared by multiple players once ; Bill Madlock and Jon Matlack shared the award in 1975. Two players have won the award for a game in which their league lost : Brooks Robinson in 1966 and Carl Yastrzemski in 1970. One pair of awardees were father and son ( Ken Griffey Sr. and Ken Griffey Jr. ), and another were brothers ( Roberto Alomar and Sandy Alomar, Jr. ). Mike Trout of the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim became the first player ever to win the MVP award in back - to - back years in the 86 - year history of the MLB All - Star Game when he accomplished the feat in both 2014 and 2015. Alex Bregman of the Houston Astros is the most recent MLB All - Star Game MVP, winning the award in 2018. Only six players have won the MVP award in the only All - Star Game in which they appeared ; LaMarr Hoyt, Bo Jackson, J.D. Drew, Melky Cabrera, Eric Hosmer, and Alex Bregman.
