There are a couple of golf trophies we could put on this (The Claret Jug, the U.S. Open trophy), but since no one ever votes for them I figured I'd just throw the Green Jacket on here. And did you know you can (well, could have) actually buy an authentic green jacket? Winning bid was just over $7K.
The sheer monstrosity of the Indy 500 trophy gets it in - sterling silver, almost five feet tall, 153 lbs, with a suggested retail price of around $1.3 million. All of our candidates are pictured in the previous post, or HERE. If your favorite's not there, just let us know and we'll add it. Fun for the whole family!

I tried to vote but not sure it went thru. I think they are all kinda ridiculous but I guess it's hard to change tradition!
ReplyDeleteas trophies go my favorite is "THE ACHE" Its awarded at the never happened Aloysius' s Conspicuous Horseshoe Extravaganza. Ache for short. its a persnickity event exclusive to those who believe reaching extreme athleticism conjures Youthful enthusiasm. The trophy is a whores shoe. Second place is the whore.

I've never been a fan of persnickety events, especially cribbage. But items of clothing and actual human beings as trophies? The Romans called and want their ideas back. I love horseshoes by the way, but not a Sport.
