Named after our annual Ralphie Awards in the memory Ralphie Onadakis, a poor fictional matchboy, trademarked at birth, whose one bright hope in life was to ascend to the prestigious and high paying world of minor league sports media relations. Promoted to general manager for his hard work, his life's dream was crushed forever. He took to drinking and promoting cheap motorcyle jumps and tractor pulls, then one day, faded from sight.
