TOTS Senior Baseball Network (TSBN)
60-and-over baseball
Sixty-three-year old Dennis Crowley hails from Boston, MA. Crowley grew up a Red Sox fan and it is understandable that major league hall of famers Ted Williams and Carl Yastrzemski were his favorite players. Crowley tries his best to swing a big stick, just like his two baseball heroes.
Crowley now plays for the Tucson Old Timers (TOTS) and his on-base percentage year in and year out is the best on the club, a 60-and-over organization which plays baseball three days a week at Tucson Udall Park.
The Boston lefty joined the TOTS in 2010 and has been a thorn in the side for every pitcher in the league. "I just try to get the bat on the ball," said Crowley, following today's game, which was won by his Blue Team, 12-1, over Team White.
Case in point: Crowley went 4 for 4 today and scored four times. He bunted safely his first time up -- dropping a bunt just inside the third base foul line. He then drilled a shot over the head of the center fielder in his second trip to the plate and singled to the opposite field in his last two at bats.
Crowley is quick out of the box and until further notice, or until a "newbee" joins the TOTS who can give him a run for his money, we'll honor "Dennis the Menace" as the fastest TOT on the roster.
