VALHALLA PLAYER OF THE MONTH AWARDS

[johne]

VALHALLA SPORTS is once again pleased to sponsor the Baseball Victoria Player of the month awards.

Last years VPOTM generated much interest and great debate amongst the baseball community. This year to celebrate the opening of the VALHALLA HIGH PERFORMANCE TRAINING INSTITUTE (due to open Mid December) two new categories have been added to the monthly Division 1 1st's player award.

This year each month you will be able to vote for

1/. The best player in Division 1 1st's.

2/. The best player in Women's baseball

3/. The best junior (over all grades u12,14,16 and 18)

We need your help in suggesting players for both the women's and junior categories.

If you know of a player who has had an outstanding month then please email [e-mail] with the players name, club and run down on what they have done in the month just gone.

We would like to announce the women and junior candidates in the next 48 hours so please get to us with your nominees asap.

I know I'll probably cop a pasting for this one, but why not a 2nd div award? Plenty of great performances down there!

We expanded it this year to three categories and maybe next year we can expand again and include division two.

The monthly award was a big hit last year, and this year it's a touch more democratic in that you can only vote once per ISP.

I think the juniors will get a real kick out of seeing their name on the web page.

Yes they do!

Oh a joke...good one!
