The World Series Most Valuable Player Award was renamed this year in honor of Willie Mays. There hasn't been a repeat winner of the award since Reggie Jackson in 1977.

The following video shows the winner of the award in each season since 2007.

Justin Turner and Chris Taylor were named co-MVPs of the NLCS.

"Everybody could have predicted it was going to be co-MVPs," Taylor said. "If we could have given it to more than two guys, I'm sure we would have. All year long it's been a different guy every night, and a total team effort."

Turner batted .353 with two homers, six RBIs and five walks. His walk-off home run in Game 2 will serve as one of the postseason's lasting images.

Taylor, the upstart leadoff hitter and utility-man extraordinaire, hit .316 with two homers and five runs scored over the five-game series. Taylor added three RBIs and four walks for a 1.247 OPS.

"It's incredible," Turner said. "What C.T. has done for our lineup all year long, settling into the leadoff spot, getting on base, the baserunner that he is, hitting balls over the fence -- he's a dynamic player and a tablesetter. When he goes, we usually go as a team. You guys saw that here in the postseason."

Marlins slugger Giancarlo Stanton led the majors with 59 home runs this season, the most by a big leaguer since 2001. Stanton spent the final three games chasing the ultimately elusive No. 60, his quest ending with a ninth-inning strikeout in Sunday's finale.

"Sums up my year and the appreciation of me for the fans, the fans for me," said Stanton, whose 132 RBIs also led baseball. "Closes the book on 2017."
