DiMaggio 2018 Scholarship Recipients!
In 2007, the BoSox Club presented the first Dom DiMaggio Scholarship, and now we present it each year to deserving Saint Anselm College baseball and softball student athletes. Award finalists are selected based on scholastic merit, financial need and of course, participation in baseball or softball. This scholarship was first created to honor Mr. DiMaggio as one of the BoSox Club's Founding Fathers and its first President. St. A's was the natural beneficiary since Mr. DiMaggio had such a personal affinity for the school, having served on the board of trustees beginning in 1979.
The first recipient of the BoSox Club's 2018 Dom DiMaggio Scholarship is Maggie Murphy, an outfielder for the St. A's Hawks and a junior business major from Scarborough, ME. Maggie is second seeded for 2018, and went to the NCAA Division II Softball Championships, where the Hawks finished as the national runner-up, becoming the first ever St. A's athletics program to earn that distinction.
The second recipient of the BoSox Club's 2018 Dom DiMaggio Scholarship is Oscar Larranaga-Contre, an outfielder for the St. A's Hawks and a senior business major from Tucson, AZ. Oscar played all 39 games for St. A's, with nine doubles and a triple. He had 11 multiple-hit games, ranking second on the team.
Congratulations to the 2018 DiMaggio Scholarship recipients!
Notes from the BoSox Club Luncheon - November 12, 2018
Keith Foulke of the 2004 World Champion Red Sox, the team that broke the 86-year-old drought, and NESN broadcaster and Red Sox Hall of Famer Jerry Remy were the guests of honor at the BoSox Club's annual Hot Stove luncheon. Interviewed by Dave O'Brien, NESN broadcaster, there were many highlights. The Brad Jernegan Award – now named the Bruce Donahue/Brad Jernegan Award – was presented to current BoSox Club board member Bob Roussel. There was a very special guest in attendance as well – the 2018 World Championship Trophy – and all present had the opportunity to have their photograph taken with the trophy. Poet Laureate Dick Flavin then stepped to the podium and recited a poem celebrating the stolen base of Dave Roberts. Incoming club president Jim Parker then accepted a captain's cap from Mike Vining and formally took over as club president.
