According to a recent press release, the award is the Junior Giants version of the annual honor bestowed upon a San Francisco Giants player who best exemplifies the spirit and leadership shown by SF Giants Hall of Famer Willie McCovey throughout his career.

Halterman and Bravo were among 84 Junior Giants players, coaches and team parents recognized for their exceptional leadership. They received all-star treatment with photo opportunities, peer recognition and acknowledgement, and a personalized baseball bat with McCovey’s engraved signature, the release said.

Special guests included Giants alumni Mike “Tiny” Felder, Dave Dravecky, Noah Lowry, Giants mascot Lou Seal and Community Fund board members.
