Well, MLB could do like the NHL where all the awards are known by a player's name (ie, the Calder Trophy for the ROY)
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"

Edited to correct the name of the Calder Trophy (thanks to Paul H for the correction).
