Abbott, from Portugal?Cove, who has retired as a player, helped teams to three gold medals at ISC tournaments — in 1994 with All Car of Green Bay, Wisc., and 1999 and 2007 with Farm Tavern of Madison, Wisc. — collecting eight all-world player honours, three?MVP awards and one batting title along the way.
Joining Abbott in induction will be Terry Challis (player), Dean Holoien (player) and Gary Baughman (administrator/umpire), along with Jack Fireman and Nick McCurry, both are entering in the Bob Welby Memorial Award/recognition of service category. Click to continue reading at The Telegram.
