Recently the BSCL held their annual awards ceremony to honor outstanding players and coaches for the 2003 season. Bellows had two players and two coaches receive awards. Among the recipients are Head Coach Ed Della Vecchio Jr., Ed Della Vecchio Sr., players Mike Sheehy and John Dellvecchio.
Head Coach Ed Della Vecchio Jr. received the Edwin Cornwell Coach of the Year Award, his second in four years, after coaching Bellows to a 24-6 overall record. Bellows also qualified for the NABF Regionals for the second year in a row under Della Vecchio Jr. His father, Ed Della Vecchio Sr. received the Marshal Pettway Sportsmanship Award. Della Vecchio Sr. is always there to shake every player's hand and give them a pat on the back every game, no matter what the outcome. Right handed pitcher Mike Sheehy (Shelton,CT) received the Mike Vigilane Pitcher of the Year Award after completing an undefeated season and being almost unhitable in every contest. Finally, centerfielder John Dellvecchio (Trumbull,CT) received the Emmett Spillane Most Valuable Player Award. Dellvecchio earned the honor for his powerful bat, beating up on teams throughout the year, his aggressive baserunning, stealing a numerous amount of bases including home on a few occasions, and his stellar defensive play in centerfield. Dellvecchio is the second Bellows player to receive the award in as many years.
