Gotham's Triple Crown

Gotham's Triple Crown

"Triple Crown" is a sports sobriquet denoting the winner of significant 3 titles.  

My favorite is the Major League Baseball Award to the league batting leader in 3 categories: Batting Average, Runs Batted in and Home Runs.  

My favorite Baseball Triple Crown winner was, of course, Mickey Mantle in 1956.  

In Thoroughbred Horse Racing there is also a Triple Crown awarded to the winner of the Kentucky Derby, Preakness and Belmont Stakes.  My favorite was
Secretariat in 1973.  

With this as background, I add that Gotham City Networking also has a Triple Crown Winner, ie, the winner of the Networker of the Year, recipient of a Gotham Foundation Season of Giving Grant and, our highest honor, recipient of our Red Bandana Award.  

Gotham's Triple Crown was achieved last year when Corey Bearak achieved the ultimate trifecta upon his designation as 2023 Red Bandana (in memory of Welles Remy Crowther who was a Hero on 9/11) recipient, having previously achieved the other crowns. 

Corey does so much for Gotham (Fredslist Moderator, Sponsorship Chairman, Co Chair of Green and Breakfast Groups, founding member of Gotham's fabled Traveling Wilburys and a lot more, including prime Wheelman) and is thus eminently worthy.  

No wonder that Corey has earned the potent Tagline: "Corey Has Clout!"

Well deserved title. Corey has many talents and is a key member of the Gotham Queens Group too.

Corey is a good guy

Corey is a Treasure, and his humble yet delighted smile in the photo you attached, holding the Red Bandana Award, is pure Corey!

Corey Rocks! Don't forget he also orchestrates Yankees at Mets every year!

A most worthy recipient and very fitting for Corey to be Gotham's first triple crown winner.

Corey adds to the Fun and Friendships of Gotham. Don't forget the Citifield Met Yank Games, Rock Rap, Picnic, Super Bowl pools etc etc. And many events have an eye for helping others! A Gotham Mission.

Well deserved, and not surprising. Corey is as solid as they come, and quoting Victoria, "We are lucky to have him." And Fred, it's not the first time I needed to look up the meaning of a word you used. Sobriquet: a "nickname."
