I'll do the research.<BR/><BR/>NBA: None. Award given annually since 1955.<BR/><BR/>MLB: 1913 - Walter Johnson (AL) (known as the Chalmers Award then)<BR/>1924 - Walter Johnson (AL)<BR/><BR/>NFL: 1972 - Larry Brown<BR/>1982 - Mark Moseley (I shit you not) (AP only, PFWA award to Dan Fouts) <BR/>1983 - Joe Theismann<BR/>(Obviously Super Bowl MVPs also, but we're looking for best player in a major sport)<BR/><BR/>NHL: (Hart Trophy is MVP)<BR/>None in 75-year history of award<BR/><BR/>So 1983 is the most recent Washington-area MVP award (assuming we don't credit Cal's two MVP awards to D.C., and we don't.)J-Redhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10136082560788563357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2253758126327765896.post-77814159570901066192008-04-07T09:47:51.294-04:002008-04-07T09:47:51.294-04:00Michael Jordan."ben"noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2253758126327765896.post-2497081717809015922008-04-07T08:37:55.389-04:002008-04-07T08:37:55.389-04:00Good point Russell. If I am remembering correctly, this might be the first major sport MVP for DC in the past five decades. Did Unseld win it?J-Redhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10136082560788563357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2253758126327765896.post-87005392242648177472008-04-06T19:06:16.529-04:002008-04-06T19:06:16.529-04:00The most exciting part of the Caps' streak is that Washington finally has a player that's the best. With Ovechkin favored to win the MVP, DC no longer basks in mediocrity. Maybe a full post on this later...Russellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01941496523513730978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2253758126327765896.post-2697811491059539642008-04-06T14:23:17.997-04:002008-04-06T14:23:17.997-04:00Yeah, I harken back to the days when the Nats were undefeated and some people were excited about the "pop" in the middle of their lineup.
