GAMES Banquet features Bobby Richardson
The Greater Augusta Sports Council is proud to announce the Greater
Augusta Medal for Excellence in Sports (GAMES) Banquet will be held on
Thursday, June 1, 2000. Area high school students will be honored at the
event held at the Radisson Riverfront Hotel.
Thanks to a partnership with the Augusta Greenjackets, the event will
feature former Yankee second baseman Bobby Richardson, 1955-1966, who
achieved several awardsincluding Golden Glove Award five times from 1961-
65. The 1960 World Series was of special significance after Richardson set WS
records of runs scored at 12 on 11 hits including a grand slam and six RBIs
in a single game and was named MVP of the series.
The 1962 Series ended on a catch Richardson made to preserve the Yankee
1-0 lead over San Francisco in game seven. Richardson led the AL in at bats
from 1962-64 and set the AL record in 1964. Richardson played on seven
American League All Star teams, on nine AL pennant winning teams while
with the Yankees, holds the record for number of consecutive World Series
games at 30 and has been the only player to be named the MVP from a losing
team.
After retiring from the Yankees, Richardson became the baseball coach at
the University of South Carolina,leading his team to the College World Series
in 1975 where they lost to Texas in the final game.
Presently, Richardson and his wife live in South Carolinawhere heis active
with the Fellowship of Christian Athletes and serves as a consultant to a
Christian film company out of Michigan, Gospel Films.
Tickets are S4O for an individual or S3OO for a table of eight. Contact the
Sports Council about purchasing them or sponsoring athletes for the evening.
