Lends a touch of authenticity to the trophy. Think about it - Dan Kolb once touched that very ball! If that isn't a bad luck charm for the winner, then I don't know what is!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_I6nTT-5TNyM/Sc_pS-i605I/AAAAAAAAAIA/mjHak9AspMg/s1600-h/DSC00067.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_I6nTT-5TNyM/Sc_pS-i605I/AAAAAAAAAIA/mjHak9AspMg/s320/DSC00067.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5318726197184222098" border="0" /></a><br />The plaque says "The Kolb Cup". The engraving was surprisingly cheap and the guys at the trophy shop got a kick out of the entire idea. I couldn't get a picture of it, but on the back, there's a similar plaque with the words "2008 - Gary Villa" enscribed. And the winner every year will get the same treatment. (The plaques are so shiny that it's tough to get a good picture.)<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_I6nTT-5TNyM/Sc_pSriwkOI/AAAAAAAAAH4/c6iKivyoYJ8/s1600-h/DSC00071.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_I6nTT-5TNyM/Sc_pSriwkOI/AAAAAAAAAH4/c6iKivyoYJ8/s320/DSC00071.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5318726192083276002" border="0" /></a><br /><br />And there she is, the Kolb Cup, in all her glory.
