John Rotondo The BOSL is only as strong as its members. We are truly fortunate to have someone like John as part of the BOSL family. John is a fixture at all of our events and tirelessly manages our 50/50 draws to help out our charities. John has been a winner of these draws on a couple of occasions and has always donated his share back to the charity. This is John's 20th year with us and is still going strong on and off the field. He won the team MVO in 2014 and received his Bobby Brown Award. Please take some time this season to recognize him and thank him for showing us what " fun and fellowship" and "giving back to the community" is all about. Jerry Weninger (JA) Now in his 27th season at 71 yrs old, gentleman Jerry is making 90% of his games and batting a very respectable 550+. Jerry was voted Oldtimer of the Year (Willard Pilatzke Award) in 2004. This is Jerry's 26th straight season being a team sponsor in BOSL! Thank you Jerry. One of the most loved players in our league, well known for hosting horseshoe parties for his team and participating in the annual Jerry's golf outings. He's both competitive and tough and also sociable and gracious. Did anyone notice he was batting 1000 after the first few games this season! Shown here wearing his favourite BLUE Jerry's jersey - JA has built a reputation every season as a top team to beat. Can't say enough about this guy - we love him forever - please say hello to Jerry when playing JA this season.		Just Get on Base!! Our OBA Leaders Smart Hitter Team Avg.

He is hanging em up at 58 years young, after his 10th year in BOSL. He was voted MVO by his teammates on ME in 2012 and won the Warner Thomas Memorial Award in 2015 with Steve Koritko who he captained with for three seasons. Joe's team won the Robert Grenier Cup in 2015. His career batting avg is .675. His wife Tracie attends most of his games and is a very attentive and creative scorekeeper. Joe is all about balancing some on field competiveness while keeping things fun. Joe can and does play every position on the field along with holding down a permanent spot at QBS for post game discussions. We are all lucky to have you with us for this final season Joe. You will be missed! Jeff Palmer Most players don't know Jeff. That's because he has been co-captain with Ron VanderMeulen for so long that we usually see him in the background. Ron gets on base and then Jeff steps to the plate and clears the bases so that Ron doesn't have to run. Jeff has been the power on team McCleary for years. He won the mid-season consolation in 2010 and won the championship in 2011. He then won the Andy Smith Award for being the Season-End Tournament Champions in 2013. His team has been in the finals countless times. He was voted MVO by his teammates in 2011 and won the Warner Thomas Memorial Award in 2011. Jeff also won the Dave Little Award in 2016. Every season Jeff is in the running to win the Keith Dunlop Award for exemplary sportsmanship. He received the Bobby Brown Award in 2006 and his BOSL Career Achievement Award in 2016. Certainly there should be an award for putting up with his co-captain for so long! Jeff Palmer is a very successful athlete and a great leader and a good friend to all his teammates. We are lucky to have Jeff in BOSL!! Ron VanderMeulen Having people like Ron in the league makes us proud to belong to BOSL. He has been a team captain and sponsor for McCleary Electric for 12 years now. He's the kind of Captain that stands up for the whole league, he's outspoken and a gifted communicator. Ron is the guy that steps up to calm the rioters and is happy to address the elephant in the room at any captains meeting. We all need to thank Ron for the tremendous effort he's given us in terms of leadership and all the time he's donated helping us with the electric needs at each tournament. Ron is always there to lend a hand and help us move our heavy equipment bins as needed. He's a generous sponsor and always donates a prize to our awards night and golf prize tables! Ron.turns 65 this June 30th and this is his 24th year with BOSL. Most players know Ron for being an above average pitcher and hitter and a great Captain and we are used to seeing him in the championship rounds -- anyone who has played on his team never wants to leave. He won the Keith Dunlop Award for exemplary sportsmanship in 2010 and the Andy Smith Award for being the Season-End Tournament Champions in 2013. If you haven't already, make sure you get to know Ron this season.		Pitching is not easy!!

His rookie season was 1987 and in 2002 he received his first Bobby Brown Award. George is a true Sportsman and gentleman, a great teammate and friend. Just last year, George was presented with a BOSL Lifetime Achievement Award - our thanks for sticking with us for over 25 years. Sad to see you go George but enjoyed playing with and against you for many years in BOSL. Ron Fuller Please get to know this wonderful man this season!!! At 83 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 23rd season with BOSL. Ron had one hip replaced keeping him out one year but he came right back, 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!
