3&2 congratulates our league’s 2023 Sportsmanship Award Winners. Teams distinguished with this honor were nominated by a peer in their league division, an umpire, a league official or a combination of those groups. With over 400 teams participating in our leagues top to bottom each spring/summer, this group really had to make a mark in people’s minds during competition of “doing it right” game in game out.
We appreciate and honor them. To show that, we had a nice celebration on our stadium field #1 on August 2nd and presented each team and player with a team trophy and an MLB Authentic Series KC Royals Baseball back pack they can use for school or baseball this fall. We shared a ballpark dinner together and then turned the park over to the kids to play sandlot games the rest of the night. We hope it was a night they will remember fondly.
For 2023, a tip of the hat for great sportsmanship goes to the following teams from the Johnson County and Greenwood programs respectively:
