Drell-Richter Trophy

The  Drell-Richter Trophy  was inaugurated in 1999 to recognize the significance of completing four decades of this annual tradition and to pay tribute to Sid Drell and Burton Richter, who initiated and fostered the rivalry of competing Theory and Experiment teams over the years. 

The trophy represents Theory confronting Experiment at Accelerator Park. The home run fence is represented by a beam tree, a traditional symbol of the lab. The beam tree was provided by Bernie Lighthouse (Personnel). The tree surfaces were polished by Reggie Rogers (Central Lab Shop). The base was creatively added by Phil Brunner (Craft Shop). Krefeld's of Redwood City put the pieces together, with room for six decades of results. Following that, another layer will be added to the base a la the Stanley Cup.
