The Gus Deppe H.E.R.O. Award

At the end of each SBBA season, we give an award in honor of Gus Deppe - the H.E.R.O. award. Gus lost his battle with cancer several years ago but played in SBBA during his treatment and exemplified what our league strives to be about (Heart, Effort, Relentlessness, Optimism). The H.E.R.O. Award is given in his honor. It's not an MVP trophy; it's more important than that. It's an award for the player who exemplifies the H.E.R.O. traits. A winner will be named in each of our four divisions.
