Despite the injury, Ken played all the games, continuously encouraged his team-mates to keep their spirits up, held off the Cuban batters with steady defensive pitching and played a solid offensive game. Ken, batted in 9 RBI and 4 over the fence homeruns. Voted by the team as their MOST VALUED PLAYER.
