In his first season carrying the weight of Black Sox Captain on his shoulders Cole raised the bar of expectation for all aspiring Black Sox players. Whether it was his rock-solid defence at Shortstop or being the toughest out in the country at the plate, Cole was a dominant force on the diamond in every format of the game. Whether it be for his Club Ramblers the Auckland NFC team or the slick young Auckland unit in the FASTBALL 45 competition he was leading from the front and letting his play do all the talking in championship winning teams. |
