Should MLB replace Cy Young awards with the "C. Mathewson" and "W. Johnson" awards?

Be glad we're not talking about Randy Johnson, because then it would be "The Big Unit Award."

I think all MLB awards should have the name of a great player attached. For me, it doesn't even have to be the "best" player. Attaching names to awards encourages people to think (and care) about the the history of the game.

Same goes for other sports. I especially like the college football awards -- Heisman, Lombardi, Nagurski, Thorpe etc. etc.
