Houston Astros to replace Roy Oswalt's 2005 NLCS MVP trophy
By
The original 2005 NLCS MVP trophy that Houston Astros pitcher Roy Oswalt won was sitting in his dad’s office. A few weeks ago a tornado killed 10 people in the area, destroyed the home of Oswalt’s parents, the NLCS trophy and his game worn jerseys.
Brian McTaggart of MLB.com says the Astros have ordered a replacement NLCS MVP trophy.
“As soon as we found out the other one had been destroyed, I talked to [owner] Drayton [McLane], and he said, ‘By all means, let’s go ahead and do that,’” general manager Ed Wade said. “It’s in the works.”
“It (the new trophy) won’t have the champagne splatters on it like it had on the other one, but it will still be a neat thing to have. It means a lot to me, too. I think it means more to him than it does me.”
