description: Morris "Rosie" Simcoff, Manitoba Hall Of Fame Inductee (In 2001, July 17), Was One Of Manitoba'S Best Known Umpires For 30 Years. Affectionately Called "Rosie" By Players And Coaches, Simcoff Was One Of The Most Colourful Umpires In The Province. He Claimed He Had Never Ejected A Player Or Coach From A Game. His Favourite Group Was The Senior Women. So In 1973, When Softball Manitoba Held Its First Senior Fast Pitch Elimination Tournament To Determine The Province'S Representative In The Canadian Senior Women'S Championship, The Association Named Its Championship Trophy In Honour Of "Rosie". He Served On The Provincial Executive For Several Years And Was Recognized As Softball Manitoba'S Second Honourary Life Member In 1980. He Died That Year, And An Award In His Memory Is Presented Annually For Contributions To Women'S Softball In The Province Of Manitoba
