From 2004 to 2009, the team had some rough seasons but this did not phase Ron or Blake at all. In 2011, the team made some noise finishing at .500 as the players they had brought in started to buy into their systems. In 2012, the team put together an excellent season finishing 18-10 and tied for first overall in the COBA Major League. Always willing to take the time to stop and talk all the time at the park, Ron and Blake are both class acts who helped their teams improve every year and play to the best of their abilities. They represented their team, themselves, the COBA League, and the city of Brampton with a huge amount of class and dignity.
