Posted: Friday, March 27, 2015 4:30 am

By LYNN SATERNOW | Herald Sports Editor

The Energizer Bunny has nothing on Steve Moser of Hermitage. They both keep on going ... and going ... and going. Moser, believed to the the oldest kicker in the world, will kick for a 20th year at the annual semi-pro football Casino Bowl Saturday in Las Vegas.

"This is probably the last one," said the 81-year-old with a smile, although he has indicated the same thing before.

The Importance Of Personal / Advertising Injury Coverage For Sports & Recreation Organizations - Personal/Advertising Injury coverage under a General Liability policy for sports and recreation sanctioning / governing associations does not receive the due attention that it deserves.

However, it is surprising how often these associations are sued where such claims fall under Personal/Advertising injury.
