In talking with Josh we have come up with a few different ideas for the Trophy Bat.
He apparently is talking about getting an Ash bat from the guy that makes Barry's in Canada. While that would be pretty cool there are a couple problems with that. I would guess that they are pretty fucking expensive.
Here is the one that I found. http://www.xbats.com/products.asp?cat=10
Positives/Negatives for the xbat:
Positives: We could do any color combo we want. Maybe all black? Maybe all Cherry? Maybe a black handle with a natural barrel? We can decide this later. Also we can just get the name of the award on the front of the bat, and then find a place to engrave each of our names on the reverse side of the bat. Also you can send in a signature to have engraved on the bat. So of course we would do it with Jwest, being that he is the league comish...which could also be a good opportunity to just name it the Jwest trophy/cup/stick....
Negatives: Really only 1 in my book. Although a case could be made that it would cost $95.00 plush shipping to get it with the signature on it. But honestly between the 6 of us its not a big deal. The real problem is that terrible Xbat logo in the center of it. We could call and see if there is anyway we can get that not on there, but I doubt it.
Let me know what everyone thinks about it. For those who don't know how...there is a "post a comment" link under each The Bloog post.
Just had a bit of a revelation. I found some places that make some pretty good looking ones for a little cheaper.

Theres one.
But what do you think about possibly getting a new one every year. So if you win multiple years you get multiple bats? There is certainly something to be said though about the Stanley cup style trophy...I mean that is how you build a history. I dont know...leave your thoughts

maybe if u buy a game bat and not a trophy bat there is no logo. we should buy a bat that can be used in a major league game, so we can have colors and minimal writing. j west deserves a lot of credit, but the trophy should have a neutral name. how about the perquimins cup? makes no sense, i love it
I agree that the trophy should have a neutral name. I still like the idea of passing the trophy around each year, if we want to do something permanent for each winner we could get mini-bats or something like that.
