The Fox television network aired the series from October 20 through October 26, 1996. Yankees bullpen pitcher John Wetteland was voted World Series MVP after salvaging all four Yankee victories. Wetteland went 1-0 with a 0.75 ERA and one save in four games (three starts). He struck out 17, walked only three, and earned the victory in all four games that he appeared in. The award was based on voting by members of the Baseball Writers' Association of America. Voters were asked to select one player as the MVP "after considering all aspects of the game." The winner was announced during the awards show on November 2. Yankees first baseman Mike Sweeney was the leading vote getter with 43 votes. He was followed by Indians third baseman Scott Cooper (40), Phillies second baseman Joe Morgan (37), and Cubs outfielder Randy Winn (36). In addition, five players received votes: Mariners left fielder Ken Griffey Jr., Red Sox right fielder Dave Ortiz, Padres catcher Tony Peña, Giants reliever Jeff Reardon, and Reds pitcher Eric Milton. Wetteland's outstanding performance in saving all four games led the Yankees to victory. He entered in the eighth inning of Game One with New York trailing 3-1 and pitched a perfect ninth to earn the win.
