At today's Lou Gehrig League season ending awards banquet, Kyle
Lane won the Charlie Aickley Award. This honor is given to the MVP
of the Colt Division, and is named for former Lou Gehrig player
Charlie Aickely.
This passed season, Kyle was a key contributor to the Hamilton
Elks Division Championship. A jack of all trades, Kyle played first,
second, third, and pitcher. Gary was a leader in all offensive categories.
He hit .448 (tied for 3rd), 4 doubles (tied for 4th), walked 17
times, and scored 17 runs (tied for 3rd). On the mound Kyle compiled
a 2-0 record.
Charlie played for Lou Gehrig
in 1998, and was the MVP for Colt Division Champion Jules Tavern.
An outfielder and pitcher, Charlie was among the league leader in
all offensive categories, including scoring 31 runs in 18 games.
Charlie was also 6-2 on the mound. Tragically, in 2003, at the age
of 21, Charlie passed away. In his honor, we now award a special
MVP award to a player from the Colt Division.
