Black Sox Captain, Cole Evans is one to watch. Not only is he superior on the diamond, off the diamond he is humble and always happy to help. He is a fantastic role model to our young Softballers and displays great attitude and leadership within his teams. Cole currently plays for Mt Albert Ramblers Premier Men and you can catch him making jawdropping plays at short stop.
