The trophies were to be delivered on May 1st for an award dinner to be held on May 20th. Troy was at first unable to obtain trophies showing a softball player swinging a bat, but by May 13th, he did locate some trophies with a softball player holding a bat. The difference did not substantially impair the value of the trophies, and thinking that the trophies would be acceptable, Troy delivered them on May 14th.
