Without the commitment of our volunteers, we could never succeed as an organization. Each year over 300 parents and friends of the Los Altos/Mountain View community step up to the plate to help on a wide variety of tasks that make LA-MVPB a great organization including coaching, umpiring, tryouts, registration, fund-raising, field improvements, snack shack, and many, many more. Beginning in 2001, LA-MVPB decided to honor one of these volunteers who had gone above and beyond the call of duty each year.
NOTE: The Golden Sprinkler Award was a special 2014 award for excellence in field maintenance.

All members of our Board of Directors work hard to complete their volunteer duties. Responsible for the entire Board is the President. Once each year, the President bestows special honor on one or two fellow Board Members with the Golden Spike Award. These chosen Board Members have gone above and beyond the call of duty making Los Altos-Mountain View PONY Baseball a better organization for their special efforts. As a non-profit baseball organization, it is fitting the Golden Spike Award is simply made with a 10 inch spike driven through a baseball way beyond its prime.

Los Altos-Mountain View Pony Baseball derives much of its strength from the hard work and vision of presidents. The hours are long, the pay is zero and the rewards are many. We honor —
