- Jim "Cowboy" Grace - Pretty much everybody in the league who has been
around at the same time as Cowboy has been struck out by him at least once (and
some of us a bunch of times!). A great all-around athlete, Cowboy is a great
hitter as well usually occupying one of the power slots in the batting order.
- Joe Jimenez - Joe is another one of the founding members of our
local MSBL affiliate. He has at least one championship under his belt as a manager and player. Joe served on the board in the mid to late 90's and was in charge of getting teams organized to attend the world series in Phoenix. Joe is an unselfesh person who always does his best to help people in the league.
- Herb McReynolds - Considered by most to be the founder of Tucson
MSBL, Herb is a great guy and a tough competitor on the field. There are a lot
of guys who get to play baseball through Herb's efforts to get the ball
rolling.
- Marc Sewell - It was joked that the award ought to go to Marc's wife
for allowing him to play as much ball as he does! Marc has been in MSBL for
many years. He also plays in both the morning and afternoon divisions,
City League, fast and slow pitch softball, and pretty
much all at the same time! He also takes two (more?) teams to the MSBL World
Series in Phoenix every year. He has always been a tough competitor and a
great sportsman.
- Mark Stevens - Few people know or appreciate how much work this guy has done and continues to do for Tucson MSBL.
Currently serving on the TMSBL Board as league
VP and Secretary, Mark was also the original TMSBL Webmaster. And - yes, he
even finds time to play with the Senior Indians!
- Gary Williams - Amazing and inspiring are the two words that come to
mind when this man's name is mentioned. Gary's struggle to overcome
serious illness and return to the game he loves is well-known throughout MSBL
and the Tucson baseball community. Not only did he return, but he is still one
of the top players in the league and one of the most feared hitters. Each year
the champion of the Senior Division is awarded the Gary Williams Cup, so named
in honor of Gary and his victory over adversity that would have overcome a
lesser man.
