Our reigning MVB, Gary Mobley put together the best season of his Beaver career last year. Hitting over .700 in 20 games Mobilly brought home the hardware with an impressive 6:1 ratio of votes to any other singular Beaver. Adding to his 2008 hardware was the 2008 summer softball championship trophy. This trophy is handed out when we win the championship to the Beaver with the most tenure.
For many years, Mobility was the elder statesman of the team. He even threatened "this season will be my last" for several summers along the way. Something about bringing an older guy to the team in '08 seemed to have positive effects. Gary can typically be found in right center for the Beavers but he has also pitched his share of games.
Mobile is best known by his teammates for his popular sayings, such as... "oh...my...God", or "Do you guys want to go to Helen's?", or "I'm going to take a shower before going out after the game", or the trademarked grunt he makes when trying to hit the ball harder than usual. He is also known for his steel glove, but since he is the reigning MVB, we won't dig any deeper on that subject and cut him some slack this year.
He's number 13 on his jersey and number 1 in your hearts. Take your pick if you want to call him Mobilly, Mobility or Mobile...just don't call him Gary - that would lead to a Beaver fine.
