CORRECTION: Louisville Slugger Warriors Raffle at the 2019 TOC Banquet
April 1, 2019
Jim Pierce (ID), left, and Michael Allen (HI), right, of Northwest Softball Club/Underdogs (WA), won the flag auction with a $2,000 bid during the 2019 TOC Banquet, then gave it to the the second place bidder, Alan Tanner of Miken Sports, who agreed to pay his bid of $1,500 to the LS Warriors.
SSUSA inadvertently listed Kevin Bourgeois as the raffle winner who donated the flag to the runner-up bid.
The Louisville Slugger Warriors auctioned off a one-of-a-kind American flag made of wood from wine and whiskey barrels to raise money for their travel expenses at the TOC Banquet. The flag was made by The Heritage Flag Company, with the SSUSA, TOC and Louisville Slugger Warriors logo burnished into the wood. The red stripe slats on the flag were from authentic red wine barrels and the white slats were made from whiskey barrels.
