30 Major League Baseball teams usually attend the meeting where the John H. Johnson President's Award is awarded.
 The award was first presented in 1974 and is usually awarded during baseball's Winter Meetings. 
The Winter Meetings are an annual event, held each December, in which representatives of all 30 Major League Baseball teams and their 160 minor league baseball affiliates convene for four days to discuss league business and conduct off-season trades and transactions.
