The Car That Changed Baseball History FOREVER

In 1910, an automotive mogul by the name of Hugh Chalmers announced that the winner of that year's batting title (leading the league in batting average) would be personally rewarded with a Chalmers Model 30 car, a rare entity to own back then. What ensued was MLB's first national scandal, and somehow it led to the creation of the MVP award.
