I am assuming that if you are reading this, you won an award in little league baseball, in Pop-Warner football or youth basketball. No, I am not talking about “MVP” or “college scholarship award.” No, I am talking about the awards we give out to the kid who is afraid to swing the bat out of fear his fingers might resemble Torry Holt’s. I am talking about the award kid who played cornerback because it was as far away from the ball as he could possibly be.
Many awards are deserved. The Husky Game Awards are not handed out as easily as a “Stop the Game my Shoelace is Untied Again Award” (yes that was me and I still find my shoelaces askew just sitting at my desk.
