CoJones Wins the Commissioner’s Award
By: Laurie | November 19th, 2007
On Saturday night our very own Cobi Jones was the recipient of the Commissioner’s Award. This award is given to
“the group or individual that has made a difference and contributed significantly to the league and the sport in America. … “While his impact on the field is legendary, it is what Cobi represents as an ambassador for the sport and his commitment to being a role model/citizen athlete that truly sets him apart,” Garber said.
Congratulations, Cobi!
