Jim Rosati, Jeff Ross, Dino Sartor and Tony Schittone.
The Awards Banquet was held on October 9 and the Yorkdale team showed up en masse to collect their trophy.
Until next season when the theatre boys (and girls), of summer suit up again, keep thinking baseball. Moreover, don’t be surprised this winter if, while driving your car along Dufferin Street through the snow, you see twelve people jogging with baseball gloves in their hands.
