Boksburg Cardinals president Gavin Bennett has hailed Gift Ngoepe as a ‘role model for all our athletes’.
This is after the Melbourne Aces star was named the Australian Baseball League’s Fans’ Choice Shortstop of the Year.
In April 2017, Ngoepe was widely reported to be the first African-born player to feature in Major League Baseball in America.
The Advertiser interviewed him at the Boksburg Stadium before he flew to the United States.
