86 -year-old TOT returns

He's back! Floyd Lance, the oldest member of the Tucson Old Timers (TOTS) baseball club, announced in January that he was retiring from the sport and would no longer lace up his spikes, grab his glove and take his normal position at first base. Lance, 86, has changed his mind. He's pulled a Brett Favre! He's breaking out of retirement! Lance rejoined the TOTS this week and looks as fit as ever. The recovery from hip surgery normally takes about six months of rehab, but if anyone can bounce back in less time, it would by Floyd.

In 2011, Lance played in just 33 games, but he made his presence known, banging out 42 hits in 99 at bats for a .424 average. He scored 29 runs during the year and knocked in 23 runs. Floyd also collected seven doubles, walked seven times and led the team with eight sacrifice flies.

Welcome back, Floyd!
