A member of the senior softball organization since
2010, Troiano is noted for his low-key manner as well as
his genuine honesty and humility. “Additionally, on and
off the field you will not find a JSSA member with more
spirit, soul and love in his heart,” Storch said.
Troiano said he was taken aback upon learning of the
award and feels blessed and honored. “My theme has
always been, let’s have some fun, don’t get hurt and let’s
have a competitive game, win or lose,” he said. The award
was to be officially presented later in the spring.
