The Jacob DaPonte Memorial Trophy

 

In July 2000 Jacob DaPonte was in his 2nd year as a Mosquito baseball player when his life was taken from him in a tragic accident.  The Jacob DaPonte Memorial Trophy is dedicated to him, and is awarded each year to the Most Sportsmanlike Player in the Mosquito division.

 

Jacob will always be remembered for his big smile. When he came to a game or practice he listened well to his Coaches, and always tried his hardest.  He treated other players with respect.  His attitude was always positive. He never said a negative thing about anyone or the game, even if the team was losing.

Mr. & Mrs. DaPonte feel very honoured that the Delaware/Mt. Brydges Minor Baseball, along with the Delaware & Mt.Brydges Lioness clubs have created this award in Jacob's memory.

 

Jacob will always be an Angel on the DKMB Minor Baseball fields...
