Phil Ball died in April 2018. Phil had been a player-manager in the SJMSBL since 1994. He managed the Angels for 21 years. From 2010- 2018, Phil was integral to the Rangers organization. Phil had many deeply seeded friendships in the SJMSBL. Generous, Loyal, intelligent & unique scratched the surface of who Phil was. He is missed by many but will not be forgotten by the SJMSBL. The 45 Division will Forever be named The Phil Ball 45+ Division. Rest in Peace, my friend
