A Big Championship Trophy

Posted by Clifton Labrum – 4 Comments

2005 Innovator Award TrophyAs a relatively new franchise, the Utah Jacks don't have much to showcase their success (or lack thereof). When one beholds the award galleries of teams like the Stix, the Lone Stars, the Keystones, and even the Yard Dogs, one can't help but be impressed with their stellar arrays of winnings. In 2005, after a bumpy but intriguing rookie season, Clifton won the Innovator Award for his work on the first generation Sandlot Illustrated website. A trophy was presented of a statuette of the famous Oakland A's pitcher, #27, "Hunter." (Sorry, I don't know his first name.) This is the first and only trophy in the Jacks' gallery, but it's a prized and honored one, for which the whole ball club is grateful.

With the biggest, most hyped-up Championship Series in Bush League History on the horizon, what will the champion receive? How much will it cost to ship it out of state? Whatever it ends up being, the coveted shrine will either find a home in Texas or Utah, to become the envy of stickball fans everywhere for the next 365 days. Here's to a fair, stat-packed, fascinating Championship!

Just to Help you out Clifton, the McFarlane Figure that you have pictured here is "Catfish Hunter." He was one of the best pitchers of his time. This a very cool article though. Good Luck in your Quest for the "Big" Championship trophy. Maybe I will see you in 2008.

Thanks, Doug! I'll remember that. We look forward to having you back in 2008. Keep an eye on the website as we'll be updating the home page to show how the series is progressing.

With what you win and two quarters you could give the claw game a try at Walmart!

Sounds like fun to me. You know how I love that claw game.
