Dapper Pitcher

Aaron Laffey, an Indians prospect, is this year's winner of the Dapper Dan award.

The Dapper Dan Club of Allegany County is hopeful Laffey will be back in Cumberland before the final Sunday of this month as the club will honor him with its top award, the George W. Stevenson-Nicholas A. Perlozzo Memorial Award, annually presented to the person who brings the most national recognition to the Cumberland area through athletics.

The 59th annual Dapper Dan Awards Banquet is Sunday, Jan. 28, 5 p.m., at the Ali Ghan Shrine Club and when Laffey receives this year's top honor he will be following in the footsteps of some very select company from the baseball world, including Sam Perlozzo, manager of the Baltimore Orioles, who last year was the recipient of the club's top honor for the fifth time.

The Indians are taking a long look at Laffey after putting him on the 40-man roster. His strength as a pitcher is keeping the ball in the park.
