John Rivard
Anyone that's been on team CBBR over the last six years knows John Rivard and what a great example of sportsmanship he sets. Always with the positive attitude, John is a career .680 hitter, top 5 batter on any team. A true athlete! Battling through a pulled hamstring I watched John take his at-bat, get a hit and hop on one leg to first base. We had to drag him off the field to get the substitute runner in. His phone is usually ringing on the bench and it isn't his agent - he has been a team sponsor for 6 years as a real estate agent helping many of us out in Burlington. He's always there for his customers, friends and teammates. Last year in John's 26th season his team won the Andy Smith Award. In 2001 John won the Keith Dunlop Award for Sportsmanship. Just 4 more seasons and he will have his second Bob Brown Award!

John Bowers
John is another reason this league is so great to be a part of. He is always on the list for top sportsmanship awards every season. He has been a co-captain for 10 years and with Tom Clancy on team L3M Freight Solutions the past three. He served time on your Board of Directors for two years (2011/12). He was tournament champion in 2010 with Dave Missons Jr. and again with Tom in 2013. John was a volunteer during our Burlington Blues Special Olympics team challenge. He is a power hitter, an amazing outfielder and infielder. He is always there to help out, play an extra game, support the league, volunteer his time. He's always the first to help out with the beer truck and changing kegs, or even parking the old beer van in his driveway overnight, making him very popular with his neighbours.  In fact, three neighbours joined the league. John has a great attitude and is admired by all of us - we are truly lucky to have him in BOSL.

Ron VanderMeulen
Ron turns 61 years old this June 30th and this will be his 20th year with BOSL. He plays bball like he was 35! Ron is always top 5 in pitching and a career 700 hitter (until recently). Most players know Ron for being a great baseball player and we are all used to seeing him in the championship rounds but anyone who has played on his team never wants to leave. He won the Keith Dunlop Award for exemplary on-field sportsmanship in 2010 and the Andy Smith Award for being the Season-End Tournament Champions in 2013. Ron has been a team captain and sponsor for McCleary Electric for 8 years. If you haven't already, make sure you get to know Ron this season.

Ron Fuller
At 80 years, Ron has everyone's respect and for good reason. His career batting avg is .570 and he plays like he's 40 and with a smile on his face. This will be his 20th season with BOSL. Ron had one hip replaced keeping him out last year but he was the first player to register for 2015 and he is already enjoying an expected comeback, hitting well as usual. He received the Bob Brown Award in 2010 and the Keith Dunlop Award for exemplary on-field sportsmanship. Great to have you back Ron!
