Pictured above is a Topps Chewing Gum
National Association 1965 All-Star Team
Award Bowl, attributed to Gordon Riese, a pitcher for the Burlington
Bees at the Class A level. Since 1959
Topps Chewing Gum in conjunction with
Minor League Baseball, has honored the
most outstanding players in all Minor
League Baseball classifications. Rookie
League, Class A, Double A, Triple A,
and Rookies at the Major League level.
There are 10
position players selected at each level, including a Left handed, and
Right handed pitcher.
Topps came up with the idea of honoring the top rookie ballplayers in each
league by establishing the Topps Rookie
All-Star Team Award, to promote Topps
baseball cards. The recipients of the
award at the Major League level were
then featured in the following year's
set with special "All-Star Rookie Team"
cards. To further promote the baseball
cards, Topps inserted a preprinted
ballot card in packs so kids could vote
for their favorite players.
In 1961 Topps started the tradition of placing
a trophy symbol, that included the
phrase "Topps All-Star Rookie" on
cards and until 1973, when the symbol
was changed to a gold cup bearing the
words "Topps All-Star Rookie." Topps
left the symbol off the cards in 1974,
and from 1979 though 1986, but the
awards were still being presented. The
symbol has been placed on the cards on
and off since 1987, and the National
Association All-Star award is still
being selected to date.
Interesting to note that the
silver plated Cup is a reproduction of
a "Sons of Liberty Bowl" created by
American patriot and Silversmith, Paul
Revere, as engraved underneath the bowl
by Oneida Silversmiths. In later years
a sticker was placed under the bowl.
