Lew Keller will be honored with receiving the third annual Spirit of the Games award for his work promoting and directing the Washington State Senior Games Men’s Softball Tournament.
Keller, assisted by his wife Maija, and her twin brother, John Dambis, has successfully orchestrated the Senior Games softball tournament into a multi-weekend event averaging 40 teams and 600 players.
For the past eight years Keller has brought hundreds of senior ballplayers to Shelton’s MCRA Park, along with spouses and other family members, with many taking rooms in nearby motels during the length of the tournament.
Teams come from throughout the state, and from as far away as Canada, Oregon and Idaho. Several have gone on to national championships and regional dominance in their respective age brackets.
For his dedication and service in building up the Washington State Senior Games Men’s Softball Tournament, Lew Keller will be given the Spirit of the Games award at the Athletes Celebration Dinner on July 27 in Olympia.
Congratulations, Lew. You have done so much for so many years.
