Here is a cool article on the Yankees getting a real wrestling belt from a WWE announcer, Jerry The King Lawler.
NEW YORK - To have a little fun, the Yankees have been giving a toy WWE championship wrestling belt to the player of the game after every victory this season.

Now they have the real thing.
Famed grappler Jerry "The King" Lawler sent an actual WWE championship belt to CC Sabathia and has promised to send a custom-made belt with the Yankees logo within a few weeks.
"The old belt is retired," Sabathia said yesterday before the Yankees played the Mets.
Sabathia and his son, 5-year-old CC III, are wrestling fans and attended several events a year. He got to know Lawler a few years ago.
"He heard what we were doing and sent the belt," Sabathia said. "It's pretty cool."
At 6-foot-7 and 290 pounds, Sabathia would make a fearsome challenger for the title. But he has no designs on entering the squared circle.
"No way," he said. "Nothing. I'll ring the bell."
