Founded in 1975 the mission of the Manny Mota International Foundation is: To provide educational health and recreational opportunities for the underprivileged especially disadvantaged youth using the Manny Mota Baseball Clinics program as the bridge or platform to teach our youth to build healthy bodies and minds through positive role models and teach self-discipline through sports as well as to provide communities with the tools necessary for improvement and self-reliance.
As stated by Mota a former 20-year major leaguer who spent 13 seasons playing for the Dodgers: "I tried not to let my team down because I had a lot of people depending on me and it was great to come through many times. I never thought about breaking records or anything like that. The main thing for me was trying to help my team win the game. That was more important than any record."
This lot features the Manny Mota International Foundation trophy that was awarded posthumously to Los Angeles Dodgers great Don Drysdale who suffered a fatal heart attack on July 3 1993 just two months prior to the ceremony. The acrylic award which measures 17 tall shows a head shot of Drysdale sporting his Dodgers cap centered inside a translucent baseball diamond. On the base of the award is an engraved black plaque that reads: MANNY MOTA INTERNATIONAL FOUNDATION August 29 1993.
Includes LOA from the Drysdale Family.
