Sports Trivia: Names of the Pro Sports Awards
I thought this might be fun. I was having a discussion elsewhere about the how the NHL is the league that names their awards after people more often than others. This led me to inquire about the names of trophies in other leagues, to see how many had any special honorees/titles. Below are the big 4 sports with a list of awards in each (I stuck to yearly and playoff awards). I simplified the descriptions in many cases, leaving out best and of the year a lot to keep this cleaner. Quote this post and see how many you can name without looking them up. Ill post spoilerized answers in a little bit. Some are tough, some are very straightforward. Let me know if I missed any major ones, or go ahead and do the same for another sport. NCAA football has a million.
