Major League Baseball announced yesterday that there would be no MVP, Cy Young, or Rookie of the Year awards this year, due to the abbreviated schedule. The World Series, scheduled to end last week, and postseason has already been cancelled.

In other baseball new, baseball legend and Hall of Famer Jackie Robinson died today at the age of 53. In 1947, Jackie Robinson broke baseball’s color barrier, and took home Rookie of the Year honors that same season. Robinson was named Most Valuable Player in 1949, was a 6 time all-star, and appeared in six World Series. Few players have forever changed the game the way Jackie Robinson did.
