The reward given to each World Series MVP is a vehicle provided by Chevy. They typically give out whatever their latest debut vehicle is. But this means the vehicle is different. This year, for example, Stephen Strasburg recieved a brand new mid- engined C8 Corvette.  

Pretty sweet huh. Well a Corvette wasn’t given out every year. Back in 2014, Madison Bumgarner won the MVP, and received Chevy’s latest creation:

Yup, a Chevy Colorado. Albeit this one looks well equipped with the Z71 package. That is a vehicle that costs half of the C8. I did a quick search to see if there was a list anywhere of what Chevy has handed out to these players, but yielded nothing. So I will do it myself, and post about it separately. I pray no one received a well equipped Cruze LT for winning the MVP. I’m also not sure how far back they’ve been doing this. But imagine receiving a Pontiac Aztek for being the best player in the World Series.

Bonus: Here’s the presentation of the Chevy Colorado to Madison. Either this guy had all the nerves, or he did a little early celebration prior to the presentation.

David Eckstein also won a Corvette in 2006. I think they just give out their newest/coolest vehicle at the moment. Last two years, winner got a Camaro SS.

The nationals won? Cool. A few weeks ago I heard on the radio that they've never won (until now I suppose). Neat.

Wasn’t a car given to an athlete once and just left at the stadium?

I remember that (being a Cardinals fan). It was a Velocity Yellow Z06.

So I'm calling it and saying David Eckstein won the World Series MVP Best Chevy contest.

The Nats are good and the Giants are bad, so the vehicles are appropriate

Bingo. At the very least, he was the WS MVP with the size most suited to a race car driver.

Shame that athletes don’t make enough money to buy vehicles they actually want. All that hard work for a pickup and, wait, what do they give really goo d baseball players? A ring? Gold watch? In any case, yeah, poor schmucks.

 From what I've read, he gave it to his brother because he couldn't drive stick and it was hard for him to see over the dash.

Speaking as someone who hates public speaking, it’s nerves.

 Hey, now. The current gen Colorados are actually pretty nice, especially the ZR2s.

I agree that’s what they do. Which means someone recently received the “all new” “futuristic” “cool looking” Chevy Blazer

I wouldn’t be surprised if that was true.
