Strategy. Our Recreational League is unique because our own Pitchers pitch to our own Team. Our Pitchers, before our batters, are really the key to team success and we want to generate “More New Pitchers”. We hope this new Award will stimulate more interest from more players to try pitching; which will speed our games.
Anyone can Win. This Trophy can be won without using a bat, and without using a glove. With our new pitching screens, it is very safe for anyone who wants to pitch no matter how muscle bound or fast or old you are (or not). If you want to try, why not go to batting practice and try throwing.
More Fun for our Pitchers. In 2026, our teams’ Pitchers will be able to keep an eye on Ron’s weekly statistics on our website and track who is in the running to take home the hardware.
Honouring Bob. This past winter, there was an outpouring of respect for Bob Tripp who was a long-time Pitcher and Captain and friend. Your Executive felt it only appropriate to name the new trophy for Bob. The trophy was donated at no cost to the League. Our newest Bob Tripp Award will be featured at the Opening Breakfast on Tuesday 28 April 2026 at the Royal Oak.
