Mad Dog Vachon would charge in from the left, grab that trophy, and smash it on the ground while threatening Jack Roeder with great bodily harm during an upcoming cage match at the MECCA Arena in Milwaukee.
But, this is Minor League Baseball...
The Cedar Rapids Kernels were presented with the national John H. Johnson President’s Trophy at the Awards Banquet on Thursday night, which concluded the Baseball Winter Meetings in Las Vegas, Nevada.Congratulations, Kernels.
The President’s Trophy, Minor League Baseball’s top award, is presented annually to honor the complete baseball franchise--based on franchise stability; contributions to league stability; contributions to baseball in the community; and promotion of the baseball industry. Cedar Rapids has had professional baseball since 1890 and the Kernels have been in the Midwest League since 1962. It’s safe to say the Midwest League club has never been more valuable to its community than it was in 2008 when devastating floods overwhelmed the city.
Kernels General Manager Jack Roeder accepted the award on behalf of the Kernels from Minor League President Pat O’Connor.
