Entrance Requirements (Players and Honorary)
There were four nominees for this, the opening year of the
NADS Hall O' Fame. The Selection Committee has, after
much deliberation, voted to honor two individuals whose
achievements for and contributions to The North
American Doppelganger Society's Sports Foundation, a
non-profit entity, best emulate the spirit of all
NADSPORTS Enterprises' motto -"Fun at all costs...Victory
at no one's expense."
The first honoree (he's first only because we do this
alphabetically) is Kent "Gripz" DeSpain, pictured here at
last year's awards banquet.
Kent did not necessarily distinguish himself on the
diamond, he has a "C" glove, bum leg, wears tri-focals and
his only recently discovered night-blindness proved to be
an impediment to his game since all our games are at night.
Kent was forced to retire due to job related pressures and
time limitations. He has been promoted to Chief Financial
Officer for the parent corporation of The NADS and that is
where the true measure of his participation has shown
through. He's the one who signs our registration checks,
pays for the uniforms and will, hopefully be there for all
his "buds" come team picnic time when we need just one
little ol' keg. [We Luv you, Man...!]
Our second honoree, whose selection will come as no
surprise to NADS fans everywhere. is Scott "No Knees"
Wruck, pictured here with his date at last years awards
banquet.
It is, however, his contributions on the field that we
honor today. Scott, along with several others, was
instrumental in resurrecting the team when both player and
fan interest had sunk so low that the franchise was in
jeopardy of folding. He has for the past five years held
assistant or head coach duties as well as playing in every
game and attending every practice. Scott has won every
major award given by our Club. As an additional honor the
Awards Committee recently announced the naming of one of
our most coveted awards in his name (he's won it every
year it's been given). The Player Who Made The Most Routine
Play Look More Difficult Than Childbirth Award
will bear his
name. We're gonna' miss you Scott but you won't be
forgotten.
