MIDDLE SCHOOL COACHES GIVE 13 YEAR-OLD 'CRY BABY' AWARD
Here is the full article.

"At the event, the boy watched as all of his Pleasantville Middle School teammates received trophies or certificates.

He was then called up to receive his award, and a coach told the crowd that the boy was being honored because "he begged to get in the game, and all he did was whine."

The trophy had a silver figure of a baby atop a pedestal engraved with the boy's name, which was spelled incorrectly. Family members said the teen — an honor roll student — was so embarrassed that he stayed home from school on the following Monday."

The kid stayed home? What a cry-baby! A very classy move by adults who were coaching this team, I'd like to add. The worst part is that they actually spelled the kid's name wrong on the trophy. I mean if he's going to win an award the least they could do is get their facts straight and spell the kid's name correctly. Somebody better get fired because of that mistake.

Personally, I like the idea of a "cry baby" award. Maybe don't give it to a thirteen year-old kid, but they should add this to the professional ranks. Here are my selections for "cry baby" awards in the past seasons in professional sports.
NFL- Terrell Owens
MLB- Pedro Martinez
MLS- 450-way Tie
NBA- Allen Iverson

Now to the front-office Cry Babies
NFL- Matt Millen (President/GM of the Detroit Lions)
MLB- John Henry (Boston Red Sox owner)
NBA- Danny Ainge (GM of the Boston Celtics)
