Warren Spahn Award
 The
Oklahoma Sports Museum honors the best left-handed pitcher in Major
League baseball each year by presenting them with the Warren Spahn
Award.
The actual award
given to the winner is a 2-foot-2 bronze statue of
Warren Spahn in his famous
high kicking windup that has an estimated value of $10,000.
Since the
award's inception in 1999 to honor the legacy of Oklahoman Warren
Spahn, who is the winningest (363) lefty ever, it has been dominated
by one particular left-handed "Unit", but in 2003 a new southpaw
was
king.
