Golden girl
I'm not into posting girly pictures, but I couldn't resist putting up this one.
Today I picked up the trophy earned by the Giant Robot softball team. It's the fifth time we've come away from a season with hardware, and each time we've finished second.
The funny thing is that the plaques never say "second place" anywhere. If you saw the trophy, you'd assume we finished first! We get the golden dudes all the time, but check out the mitt. It looks likes something Charlie Brown would wear.
Who makes these things? I always pick ours up at a factory in an industrial part of North Hollywood. Many of the display pieces aren't for sports, but for corporate achievers, like people who meet sales quotas or work for the same company for 10 years.
If any of you GR players are reading this, come by the office and take the trophy for a day. You are entitled to do whatever you want with it, Stanley Cup-style.

The trophy might not say first or second place but we're number 1 in my book...awww.
