Dick Howser Trophy
 The
Dick Howser Award is presented annually to college baseball's top
player - similar in respect to the Most Valuable Player Award. The
award was created in 1987 and winners were selected by the American
Baseball Coaches Association until 1998. In 1999 the National
College Baseball Writers Association took over the selection process
and since then it has been referred to as the "Heisman Trophy of
College Baseball."
The Dick Howser Trophy is also, and probably more
importantly, a national sponsorship that was created on behalf of
Dick Howser himself to promote baseball excellence and scholastic
achievement for collegiate baseball. Education is one of the
country's biggest concerns and through sports will bring an enhanced
national focus.
