Sports Trophies

Which tropical fruit can be found on top of the Men's Wimbledon Trophy?
This colonial fruit proved very difficult to cultivate in 18 century Europe, and it was only possible to do so at enormous cost in equipment and labor.
For that reason the official theory at the Wimbledon Museum is that the fruit is at the top of the trophy, because being presented with one was a great compliment - but no one knows for sure why it is there.
