How many records are there in all of sports that you can say without hesitation will never be broken? The #1 answer is probably Cy Young’s 511 wins. Koufax, Seaver, Clemens, Randy Johnson, Pedro Martinez, Gibson, Maddux, Carlton, Jenkins, Drysdale, Spahn, Palmer, Hunter and Ford have won it. That tells you just how prestigious this award is. This is the real thing by Balfour with their stamp on the back. Identical to the ones the greats of baseball have received. Some tarnishing. This one was made by Balfour in the late 1960’s for the now defunct Cy Young Museum. Silver trophy mounted on black wood reads “Cy Young Award” across the top. Below it, a hand gripping a baseball atop a silver stand. At the bottom of the trophy “Presented to Cy Young Museum By Balfour Company Jewelry’s Finest Craftsmen”. Approximately 14 X 16” and weighing in at 11 lb. 13 oz. it is quite the impressive item. Your chance to get a real Cy Young award for a fraction of the price of a player’s.
