The Jack Cody Shield - WABL 'E' Grade Minor Premiers
This is a wooden shield mounted on a wooden base with a silver metal scroll at the top. The scroll is engraved with the name of the baseball league. In the centre of the wooden shield is a silver metal shield engraved with the name of the trophy. Thirteen smaller metal shields are mounted around the central shield and are engraved with the names of the winning clubs, from 1986 to 1998/99, however, there is no shield for 1989.
The manufacturer's label is attached to the back of the wooden shield.
The Jack Cody Shield was awarded to the West Australian Baseball League's 'E' Grade Minor Premiers from 1986 until season 1998/99.
With the amalgamation of the West Australian Baseball League Inc. (WABL) and the Baseball Development Foundation Inc. (BDF) on 5 May 1999, Baseball WA Ltd (BWA) was formed. Because of the changes to the League, this shield was replaced with another trophy bearing Baseball WA's name.
