Hometown Hero to be Honored

By craig

Oogie's hometown is set to honor one of their own.

To show appreciation for the many times that Uggla brought recognition to his home of Columbia, The City of Columbia will have "Daniel Uggla Day" on Thursday, Nov. 2.

"Daniel had such a remarkable season," said Columbia vice-mayor Wayne Kennedy. "He has brought so much positive attention to our city with his accomplishments in professional baseball.

"We thought it would in some way show him our appreciation for how he has handled himself both on and off the field."

Uggla is a strong candidate for the National League Rookie of the Year award as selected by the MLB Baseball Writers Association. The winner will be announced in early November.
