Trophy with deep yellow or ochre plastic base and column with a smaller trophy on top featuring a baseball player at bat, handles, and leaf motifs all made of the same gold metal, possibly brass. The player is missing the bat itself which has either been lost or broken off. The base has a shiny metal plaque engraved with "WHITWORTH TROPHY 1951 CITY LEAGUE CHAMPS A.F.L". The middle section, a plastic column connecting the base and top trophy, has birds perched on balls with their wings outstretched and a wreath on the column itself all in the same gold metal. Underneath, inside the base, is a blue and silver label or logo of the manufacturer that reads "DODGE, INC. TROPHIES NEWARK MIAMI CHICAGO LOS ANGELES". Dodge Inc. was founded in Chicago by Ray E. Dodge, later moving to Los Angeles in 1930, and manufactures the Oscar and Emmy Awards trophies. The trophy is 19.5" tall by 6" wide at the base. The baseball player on top is 5.5" tall.

Metal parts of the trophy like the handles and player on top are detached or broken. The bottom left corner of the plaque is missing its screw. There are a few flecks of silver paint scattered across the bottom half of the trophy. There is some light rust or tarnishing on some of the metal pieces, including the bottom of the plaque.
