The John Tirrell Trophy is given in honor of one of the founding members of Midway Little League. John helped form Midway Little League in 1965. John spent over 50 years supporting Midway in every capacity imaginable. He was instrumental in the building of our fields, concession stand, two press boxes, numerous dugouts, equipment shed and batting cage. He passed away at the age of 91 on July 22, 2017. He is honored through both this award and the naming of the Junior/Senior Field, which is known as John Tirrell Field.
All 12 year old players in the Major Division who have grown up in Midway will be considered based on outstanding sportsmanship, leadership, citizenship, hard work and hustle.
