Umm, you misspelled "3rd Base."
With the exception of wives for upper middle class white men and body parts for serial killers, there are basically two kinds of trophies: the iconic kind you keep on display — AKA the Heisman, Lombardi, Stanley Cup — and the kind you immediately pack into a box in the garage — AKA any trophy you've ever won and these seventeen wonders of modern sculpture.
Ugh, give it a rest already, WE GET IT — not all female golfers are lesbians.
Bet you didn't know you get a trophy for buying a copy of the Kama Sutra.
Great, now you can call Batman and tell him about the game you just won.
What do you mean "Did I salvage this from an abandoned porcelain factory in Thailand?"
You're going to be tempted to Google "Silver Vagina" after seeing this, but don't. Trust us.
Look everyone, it's the world champion of Candyland!
You laugh, but recycling Honey, I Shrunk the Kids props is good for the environment.
Take note of this inanimate object living out a fantasy you never will.
"This trophy will go great in the foyer of my grandmother's house."

As an Iowa State alumna, I find myself simultaneously proud and embarrassed that my alma mater is associated with two of these. And I haven't got a clue WTF the telephone one is for...

That teeny-tiny trophy that the two cricketers are holding is actually the Ashes, probably the most revered trophy in the world of cricket (actually, more likely a symbolic replica, as the actual Ashes urn is kept in a display case at the Marylebone Cricket Club in London). England and Australia began competing in international tests in 1877, and England held the early advantage over the "colony". However, Australia defeated England in England 1882. A satirical obituary in an English paper said that English cricket had died and the body would be cremated and the ashes sent to Australia. When England next took a cricket team to Australia, that was dubbed "The Quest to Regain the Ashes". On that tour a small terra-cotta urn was presented to the English Captain Ivo Bligh by a group of Australian women. The urn was said to contain the ashes of a cricket bail. Ever since, the international cricket series between England and Australia has been called the Ashes. The little urn may look puny and laughable to you, but if you were a cricketer you would cherish the opportunity to touch it. Much less unwieldy than the Stanley Cup, anyway.

This last one is actually a replica of a very old sculpture from Ancient Greece called "Pankratiasts" or The Wrestlers, depicting an Olympic competition that was so hardcore that Spartans wouldn't participate in it. This statue is also in the US Wrestling Hall of Fame... so I don't know how many people wouldn't want it...
