A trophy with an exciting style, combining the edginess of its trapezoidal shape with the organic elegance of gold leaves of fragile metal cupped around a soft replica of a baseball. This mostly wood award was bestowed upon American outfielder Warren Cromartie as recipient of the Japanese baseball league’s 1988 MVP, while in his 5th season with the Yomiuri (Tokyo) Giants. A marvelous piece from one of the more interesting cultural exchange stories in baseball. Measures 11 3/4 x 8 1/2 x 4”, and includes LOA.
