Here is Lefty Grove receiving his 1931 MVP Award from Connie Mack. Note the care taken with them handling this great piece, as it must have been as revered back then as it is now.
This trophy was undoubtedly made by Dieges & Clust, and was more opulent than even the Spaldings. Note the columnar structure and the ornately decorated wood base.
