Edit: (The Commissioner's Trophy) is presented to the owners of the winning team by the Commissioner of Baseball, hence its name. The trophy is not named after anyone in particular, unlike the Stanley Cup (NHL) and the Vince Lombardi Trophy (NFL).
So, out of the four major sports leagues (MLB, NFL, NBA, NHL), the NHL is the only one that awards the championship trophy to the captain (or any player at all) on the winning team.

The NBA trophy is named the Larry Obrien after a commissioner as well and the MVP is named after Bill Russell.
