Rob is probably the most talented softball player Manitoba has produced.  From 1989 at 16 to 2011, he appeared in 25 Western and/or National and/or World Championships.  Out of province teams such as the Vancouver Grey Sox and the Saskatoon Merchants added him to their championship teams while he rejected invitations from teams in Brampton and Kitchener.  He was the first Manitoba player to be signed to a Minnesota Twins professional contract.  Fortunately, Rob returned to play softball, the game he loved.  He was a dangerous hitter scoring the highest batting averages, the most home runs and RBI’s, and was repeatedly selected to all-star teams.  A gifted and talented softball player we might not see again.
