Baseball's MVP trophy should have Frank Robinson's name, per ESPN's Buster Olney

National Baseball Hall of Famer and former Cincinnati Reds great Frank Robinson's name belongs on Major League Baseball's Most Valuable Player trophy, according to a column by ESPN's Buster Olney.

Last week, apnews.com's Ben Walker reported that National Baseball Hall of Famer and former Reds great Barry Larkin, a former Moeller High School standout, was among previous MVP award winners calling for Kenesaw Mountain Landis' name to be removed from the award.

Landis was the first Commissioner of Baseball, from 1920 until he died in 1944. He is from Millville, Ohio, a small town about five miles west of Hamilton.
