Kids and Baseball Trophies

Posted: Oct 28, 2010 |

Now that we're approaching that World Series time of year, all of the organized baseball  leagues are starting to wrap up their seasons with various forms of tournaments.  As an aside, whoever thought that this year the Rangers and the Giants would battle it out in the Series?  i guess that's why they play the game!

If you're involved in baseball team sports, now's the time you need to be thinking about awards.  Psychologists now insist that all participants in T-Ball and younger little leagues receive participation trophies or awards regardless of how  their team fared. This  article will take a look at some baseball trophies appropriate for the younger age groups
.
T-Ball

I really don't know why they start kids in baseball this young.  I think the only value may be for the child to start developing some coordination skills.  After watching T-Ball through my own kids, I'm convinced that the parents get more out of it than the kids do!  That being said, there are several really neat baseball trophies and awards that are available through Crown Awards, a company that's been in the Awards business for over 30 years.


Participation Trophies:  I really like the medals for this type of award.  Crown has just a ton of these, and they start at just $1.49.  When the kids are this young and can't read, just having a baseball related medal on a ribbon hung around their neck at the team party is really exciting for them.

Top Finishing Team Trophies:  If the budget is tight, these very same medals can be bought with "first, second or third" place on them.  However, even at this age kids know the difference between just participating and winning the most games.  Of course, if you're partial to medals, you can get larger, nicer medals for between $5 & $10.   However, there are other options as well.  Crown Awards has this really neat 9" movable, posable baseball figures on a marble base at a promotion special cost of $3.95 with free engraving.  This is a super deal, and really would make any small child happy.

Little League

These baseball players are of the age where they're really beginning to understand the game.  Trophies for winning really do mean something to these teams, not just for participating, but for excelling and being the best.  I've listed several options from which to choose, with budget being the overriding factor.

Medals:  Always an option, especially for 2nd and 3rd place finishers

Posable Baseball Figures:  As mentioned previously, these figures (both male and female) are sure to satisfy, and look great on display at home.

Spinners:  These baseball trophies are very popular with kids.  Crown has one with a baseball emblem that spins inside a wreath that is sure to please.  It also is mounted on a marble  base and comes with free engraving for about $5.

Crystalline Baseball Figures:  For $6., you can get a 7" crystalline baseball player on an engravable base.  Crown Awards also offers a 5.5" lucite star that any young player would be proud to receive.

There are many more possibilites to be had, some less expensive and some costing a whole lot more.  The variety of baseball trophies at Crown Awards is almost endless, from medals to cups, to plaques, to figurines and more.  The advantage in dealing with an experienced company Crown Awards is that there's probably not a whole lot that they haven't seen or been asked to help with over the past thirty years.  There's no substitute for experiece, especially when it comes to making kids and their parents happy.

    I grew up a small town in the southwestern part of Colorado, and even though the population was only around fifteen hundred people, we had a really great sports complex and I can recall many warm evenings going to the baseball fields and either watching my father play on a either baseball or softball team, but also watching my little brother playing t-ball.

    Every year players come out of no where and perform better than expected. Here are the top 10 players this year in baseball who are undervalued.

    While I am still a casual fan of Major League Baseball, I am not anything close to the baseball fanatic that I once used to be. When I was growing up, baseball was king, but not so much now. I recently did a little introspection to try to determine why this is the case. When I did, I was able to come up with ten reasons for my diminished interest in baseball.

    It appears that Major League Baseball is getting more and more like the National Hockey League (NHL), in which there is absolutely no correlation between its regular season and the outcome of its postseason. In other words, baseball's regular season is becoming almost completely irrelevant.

    Are you aware that many slowpitch bats are built with two pieces? It is simpler to manufacture them that way, but that doesn't translate to higher quality for people who are utilizing them. Fortunately, there are some top quality bats for slowpitch baseball which are forged from a single bit of aluminum.

    Leading by example has been encouraged since the dawn of time; and it's great to witness the NBA using their awards to reward such behavior. But ask yourself, when the confetti falls and banners get raised do we remember to acknowledge everyone who plays a role? The star player isn't always solely responsible for how things turn out – sometimes the real heroes aren't even the players.

    When it comes to choosing a sport for your kids there are so many to choose from. Unless one of the parents was a wrestler in high school or one of the parents siblings then wrestling is usually not first pick. Pound per Pound wrestler are the strongest of all high school and college athletes which says a lot on its own.

    Everyone needs encouragement, not just the little kids running around an intramural basketball court. The NBA recognizes different people, at different times, for many different reasons other than being the "best" or a world "champion". Leading by example has been encouraged since the dawn of time; and it's great to witness the NBA using their awards to reward such behavior.

    From the ball's invention, which I guess was done by the cave man, we humans have always kicked a round sphere of some sort. So it's really no wonder that soccer is a sport having world wide origins. Almost every culture has reference to the history of soccer.
