Vince homered in his 2009 Goldeyes debut and is best-known for starting the famous September 14, 2009 triple play - fans were thrilled at this Goldeyes Franchise first! Vice consistently scores in the top four N. L. batting and on-base percentage slots and is a fan favorite where ever he goes.

With 41 extra-base hits and 184 total bases last year, Kevin earned fifth spot in the competitive and talented-rich Northern League. In addition to his skill and athleticism in outfield, Kevin recently debuted on the mound with a 2/3rds scoreless inning in his 2009 pitching debut.

That same year the talented and powerful offensive lineman went on to win the Ed Kotowich Good Guy Award - the second for Obby - which recognizes excellence in football ability, team camaraderie and extraordinary community effort. Obby's tireless efforts in support of child and youth amateur sports and other charitable programs make him a community legend and champion!
