As some of you may or may not know, I play softball. My team is the Saints and we made the Grand Final this year, I was unable to play due to injury.
Last saturday was the Best and Fairest. I had a few Best on Grounds, but it was a fairly even team effort, no real runaway...
Coming into the final round, our Pitcher Danni and myself shared 14 votes each....
I received two votes and Danni 3... so she won... but for the first time ever I came in the top two!
a couple pics from the day..... taken by my dad.
I was presented my award by the Mayor of Launceston Ivan Dean.
and here I am making what one of the club stalwarts called the best speech of the day (all about the fact I was only standing up there because for every play I made someone else played their part. and for everyone run I scored, I had help...)
no wait I chose not to show that pic too blury... here are the three winners...
Danni the B&F WInner, Loz our Coaches Award winner and myself runner up.
thanks for the congratulations guys. I'm really proud of the effort as I feel liek I steppe dup to be an on field leader this year, even if I wasn't named captain.
Congrats AJ! Best and Fairest is kinda like the MVP award and it looks like it was a close finish in your comp as well. You and Danni are like Nash and Dirk

Runner-up still means if you'd have broken her leg prior to the last game, you'd have won it......err.. I mean, it still means your important to your team, and that's what counts!

LOL Well I am determined to have an even more team orientated season and to have increased my running speed, which can only help!
Plus I get to start the season with lead-of hitter sown up.... and I reckon I could almost talk them into having me play shortsop..... problem with third base is you're not always in the game... but it i important to have a good 3rd baseman.... as when balls are pulled down the line.. if you have a dodgy fielder... its the bst spot to put it cos of how far in the outfielder has to run for that ball...
