"Banker" is arguably the angriest player on the Eclipse (and perhaps in vintage base ball), but standing at an intimidating 6'7" he is rarely questioned when he speaks up. He was one of the original 9 players that founded the Eclipse in 2006, and he has spent hours of his own time learning about the rules, customs and history of base ball in Cecil County. His efforts were rewarded in 2007 when the team awarded him with the "Cornerstone Award" at their annual banquet.

Banker's fondest memory in vintage base ball was winning the 2007 Maryland State Championship (for Killer) against Talbot in Easton, MD. He also recalls an outstanding performance at the plate one weekend against Mudville and Hartford, while nursing injured hamstrings and two damaged (possibly broken) fingers.
