Rest in Peace, Catcher.   C   LONG ISLAND DRIVE Baseball 2010 -- COMMITTED to the DRIVE-- ** LI Stan Musial 2010 **LEAGUE STANDINGS Division I - Wood Bat      TEAM W L PCT GB PLACE Black Sox 13 1 .929   -- 1 DRIVE 20 2 .870   -- 1 Storm 2 5 .286 7.5 2 Cardinals 7 15 .318 10 3	Finally, The CHAMPS! 2009 BATTLE FOR NEW YORK LONG ISLAND DRIVE  --  13 defeats NEW YORK THUNDER  --  0 *SATURDAY JULY 11, 2009 - 7:00PM*  JACK KAISER STADIUM St. John's University - New York _____________________________________________ 2009 Season LI DRIVE Team Award Winners CY YOUNG -                  CHAD HARRIS (4-time Winner)                                          8-1 record / 1.13 ERA                                          98 K's in 62 IP / .148 BAA                                          2 Shutouts          BATTING CHAMP -   FRANK GIGLIO (Our first 3-time Winner)                                          .410 Avg / 32 Hits /.589 OBP                                           17 RBI's / .435 BAwRISP CO-MVP'S -                  VINNY MANNESE  (Our first 3-time Winner)                                          5-1 record / 0.51 ERA                                          48K's in 41 IP / .184 BAA                                          MIKE HERBST  (First Time Winner)                                          .392 Avg / .531 OBP                                           22 RBI's / .424 BAwRISP DRIVE SPONSORS ______________________________________________   THE OFFICIAL TRAINING FACILITY OF THE LONG ISLAND DRIVE THE BEST place for athletes to train!
