Ward Gosse 3-Peat Champion & Playoff MVP

By definition, MVP is an abbreviation for the Most Valuable Player. In sports, players are often awarded with the title of MVP for exemplary performance and contributions to their teams during a season.

In the case of Softball NL Hall of Famer and Sport NL Hall of Famer Ward Gosse MVP is definitely an abbreviation for Most Valuable Player, but can also be an abbreviation for Most Valuable Pitcher and Most Valuable Performer.

That pretty much sums up Gosse's contributions to his Roebothan McKay Marshall Republic team in the Molson St. John's Intermediate Men's Fastpitch League, especially the last three post-seasons!

On Friday, October 09, Gosse and his Republic teammates defeated Lafontaine Club 9-1 in 6-Innings to take the Best-of-5 Final in straight games and with that captured their 3rd consecutive Molson St. John's Intermediate Men's Fastpitch League Championship (2018-2019-2020).

When the final out was recorded and the dust settled there was no debate as to who would be named Intermediate League Playoff MVP. Look no further than the Roebothan McKay Marshall Republic pitching circle to find Ward Gosse.

Gosse turned in another outstanding performance in the post-season and captured his 3rd consecutive Intermediate League Playoff MVP Award.
