What are some funny baseball awards for kids?
Some funny baseball awards for kids are Rally Cap Commander, Batting Glove Adjuster, Fly Ball Magnet, Pop-Up Slide Pro and Team Snack MVP. The best ones come from a habit you saw all season, like the kid who called out the number of outs before every pitch or the one whose white pants never stayed white. If you can picture the player the second you read the award name, it will get a laugh.

How to Give Funny Awards Without Hurting Anyone

Skip anything tied to a strikeout, an error or a bad inning. They remember those already.
- 3
Read the award to the parent first if you are unsure. If they smile, you are good.
