Forget the Commissioner’s Trophy, players on the San Francisco Giants now vie for a Golden Urinal award.
The coveted Golden Urinal – it’s literally shaped like a golden toilet – goes to the winner of the Hydration Domination contest held each series.
Reports of the shiny vessel come from The Mercury News, which looked at the Giants' high-tech physiological assessments and approach to player wellness, a program now in its third year.
Players’ hydration is monitored daily with a USG: urine specific gravity machine. While it sounds very space-age, a USG simply measures the density of a urine sample.
