t was a warm April afternoon. Trinity baseball tricaptain Rob Kane '98 had just grounded out in his fourth atbat in a game against Clark University. Before Kane could even take off his helmet, his teammates were needling him good-naturedly about not getting his fourth hit of the game. Earlier that afternoon, Kane had gotten his 1OOth career hit Gust the sixth player to do so in the 131-year history of the Trinity baseball program), scored his 1OOth career run (only the second), and was on base three consecutive times, creating havoc for the Cougar pitching staff. With his genuine smile and easygoing nature, Kane is a happy warrior. His perpetually dirty uniform and bruised body reveal the costs of doing battle with wicked-hop grounders, yet he is always supportive of his teammates and upbeat. "What strikes me about Robby is his disposition," explains Head Coach Bill Decker. "He is always positive, which makes people want to be around him." For the last four spring seasons, Kane, a second baseman from Quincy, MA, has been a fixture in the Trinity infield. "Sometimes," says Decker, "You don't really notice him (maybe because he's just 5'5"), but he's always there. He is quiet, but he has always provided a spark to his team."
