2008 Travis Roy Foundation WIFFLE Ball Tournament

On the opening night of the tournament, the Rock of Champions was unveiled at Little Fenway. Etched in the rock are the winners of this tournament since 2002. At the bottom of The Rock was a quote from Travis Roy:

"There are times in our life when we choose our challenges and other times when the challenges simply choose us. It is what we do in the face of those challenges that defines who we are, and more importantly, who we can and will become."

No one expected the Jack Hammers to advance to the playoffs. They had only won a few games in their previous trips to Vermont. This time was different. The Jack Hammers shocked the teams in their division by cruising past all of them to earn a top seed in the playoffs. Next they proceeded to win their quarter-final and semi-final games to land in the championship game against the Nite Feeders. Captain Jack Shadduck was all smiles as he awaited the big game. Jack has been paralyzed for approximately 5 years, but that has not stopped him from leading his team from the sidelines. He successfully motivated his team to play their best and never give up. Despite being behind in the sixth inning, the Jack Hammers rallied on a three-run home run to claim the championship. The team mobbed Jack on the diamond. Moments later they took their team photo with Travis next to the Rock of Champions. Jack Shadduck was named the MVP. Over $185,000 was raised for the Travis Roy Foundation.
