Congratulations, guys. Top of my head, I can easily think of at least 10 additional guys who are equally deserving. I heard from many managers that it was extremely difficult to narrow the number down to three.
For the record, the concept is to divide this group into halves with team members often pitted against team members. Once that's finalized, the team rosters will be posted here as well. Look forward to seeing you play on the 3rd at New Scotland, noon game time.
NOTE: If you can't attend, please notify your manager who will then select and alternate.
And don't forget: BBQ and League Awards immediately after. Whatever you can contribute, food or beverage, will be appreciated.
