The O'Doul Award is proposed to honor Net54 members on a rotating basis for reasons that are as yet undefined.
The purpose of this thread is to introduce the concept and entertain suggestions on criteria and qualifications about who deserves to be the first honoree.
Rather than a poll, nominations may be made in this thread and seconded by other members.
The deadline for nominations and seconds will be determined by your response or lack thereof.
We need to consider how frequently the award should be passed on to the next winner as well.
The current award winner will be obliged to pass the award forward without cost to the subsequent honoree.
This thread should serve to unify all discussion and commentary about the award.
How frequently should it be awarded? Annually?
I know that if I were to set the rules in stone, they would be quickly violated based on past experience.
Therefore I want this to be a group effort to create the basis for this award and its journey.
With your input I will have to put the rules into context by editing this post. (edied Feb 3rd)
I am offering the award free of charge from my collection to the first recipient.
A list of all award winners will be maintained in this thread as well including the factor that put them over the top in the selection process.
Let's try to keep this thread more civil than some of our HOF threads.
So at this point I would like to share with you the hardware that is "The O'Doul Award"

A rare and fine award indeed.
Please do not drool on your keyboards.
NB: This thread is not a Live Auction or a BST listing, and therefore deserves placement on the main board.
Although the award itself is priceless, the market value is dubious at best despite the GEM MINT grade.
Let's begin creating the framework for the selection of the first O'Doul Award winner from the Net54 family.
Since I currently have the physical award in my possession, I must recuse myself from the award winner to avoid charges of colluding with myself.
Current Nominations include
1. Ted Z *****
2. Bill Gregory *
3. Manny **
4. Rhett Yeakley
5. (Cobb/Cobbs) Guy????
6. Archive
