Yeah i think that's a protective thing anyhow....they let the team have the cup but it still has an escort these days ... Been lost and destroyed once too often lol... I'd bet that base has been replaced two dozen times...
I betcha it was Mike Johnston. Nobody would suspect him.
At the bottom of the page you can also see this:There was also this...
The bold part made me laugh.matt
I remember reading Wayne Gretzky’s autobiography when I was a kid. I remember a couple of stories in there about the cup. One story was about a cleaning lady who stole the cup from an office. She took it home and used it as a planter. Another story was of a group of players who took the cup out after winning it. In a drunken state kicked it into a river where it rested on the bottom until it was recovered.
Conor Sheary lifted it up and then fell over as it weighed more than him.
I'm just gonna assume that Pantera dented it again.
