1957 Opening Weekend
1957 Opening Weekend
This was the first year the Opening Weekend trophy was awarded. The intention was to award a new small trophy every year. However, Art Wright, who won, suggested that the small trophy in the picture be made into one large trophy that could be awarded each year with the winners' names engraved onto it. Another great Meadowbrook tradition began. The Trophy was made larger prior to the next Opening Weekend. It remained that way until 1997 when a new base was added. A new addition will be needed prior to the 93rd annual Opening Weekend in 2037.
The Winner was Art Wright
