Astros outfielder George Springer was named the 2017 World Series MVP after he hit home runs in the final four games of the series and in five of the last six in Houston's win over the Los Angeles Dodgers. Commissioner Rob Manfred presented the 28-year-old with the Willie Mays World Series Most Valuable Player award after the Astros' 5-1 win in game seven on Wednesday. "It's only fitting that this first award goes to a center fielder – George Springer of the Houston Astros who hit five home runs in this great seven-game series," Manfred said.
