Commissioner John Carnaggio Tournament Report


The 2006 SSAD Tourney was held at Greenville, SC where we attracted 72 players (4 teams) and 89 fans under lovely, hot weather (High 80's) on June 16 & 17, 2006.

Carolinas Athletic Association for the Deaf (CAAD) dominated the "if necessary" championship game by defeating Greater Tampa Bay Association for the Deaf (GTBAD) Southeast Fusion by the score of 40 to 26. The Southeast Fusion team gave up more than 25 walks which killed their own team in spite of replacing 5 pitchers.

The Most Valuable Player was given to Jeff Cooley whom his father won the SSAD 2006 Hall of Fame. The other 2 teams were Southwest Florida Assoc. for the Deaf (3rd place) and Greenville Deaf Club (last place). And yet, Greenville Deaf Club won 3rd straight for Team Sportsmanship plaque. CAAD Christopher Buzzo won the highest batting average while the CAAD left fielder Aundrey Ross won the Golden Glove.

Southwest Florida Association for the Deaf will be hosting next year's tourney at Fort Meyers, Florida from June 7th to 10th, 2007.
