The NASBL has a long history of long-time membership, with the average member staying in the league for nearly a decade.
But one GM stands head and shoulders above his peers. Robin "Red" Robbins of the Dallas Fort Worth Spurs has now captained his NASBL team for an amazing 25 years! During this time, Red has presided over the entire 22-year NASBL career of Barry Bonds (drafted out of Arizona State by Red back in 1985) and Ken Griffey Jr, who played for Red's Spurs every one of his 21 NASBL seasons.
Red led his Spurs and their core of Bonds, Griffey, and Edgar Martinez to the 2002 NASBL Championship, then in 2007 Red became the first ever 2-time winner of the coveted NASBL World Championship title.
In recognition of a quarter-century of NASBL excellence, it was Commissioner Stephen Beard's recent honor to present Red with the baseball-diamond shaped plaque pictured in the awards ceremony above.
Thank you, Red, for your first quarter-century in the NASBL. We look forward to competing with you for another 25 years!

Red - congratulations! As a relative newcomer to the league, I appreciate all the work the long-time members of this league have done to make it such a great group to be a part of.
