“We’re pleased to announce the Cape Cod Baseball League 2011 All-League Team,” said Galop. “The balance of representation from all our ten teams highlights the incredible parity that the CCBL continues to display. This 25-man roster is made up of players whose performances exceeded expectations and whose statistics led the CCBL in all categories.
“Our head coaches played a major role in recommending this team and head statistician Chris Thoms did a remarkable job compiling and analyzing statistics for all categories. We believe this 25-man roster is truly representative of the extraordinary talent that was here on Cape Cod this past summer and we congratulate each and every member for what has become a memorable summer for each and every member of this team”.
