Not the first trophy given away [View all]

If one walks through the Nixo museum, besides the laughable Watergate room where the museum tries to describe away Nixon's crimes, then one will find Carl Yastrzemski's All Star game MVP.

On April 13, 1971, Carl "Yaz" Yastrzemski presented his 1970 All-Star Game MVP award to President Nixon.
