Let's see:



Jackie Robinson Award - ROY



Cy Young Award - Best pitcher in baseball

Christy Mathewson Award - NL

Walter Johnson Award - AL



Ty Cobb Award - Best hitter/highest BA in baseball

Honus Wagner/Tony Gwynn Award - NL

Ted Williams - AL



Hank Aaron Award - Most HRs in baseball

Babe Ruth Award - AL

Willie Mays Award - NL



Fielding Awards:



OF - Tris Speaker Award

2B - Joe Morgan Award

C - Johnny Bench Award

SS - Ozzie Smith Award

3B - Brooks Robinson Award



The only one I have a concern with would be the Walter Johnson Award. I'm afraid the name would be shortened, and it would euphemistically be known as "The Johnson Award"



Steve

Change Aaron to Bonds (Aaron already has an award after him too), Bench to Pudge, OF Andruw Jones.
