Former University of Arizona baseball coach to be guest speaker at TOTS' luncheon




Former University of Arizona baseball coach Jerry Stitt will be the guest speaker at the Tucson Old Timers (TOTS) annual luncheon to be held Thursday, April 11, at the Claim Jumper on East Broadway, just one block west of Alvernon Way.

The luncheon will begin at 11:30 AM and Stitt, who coached at Arizona from 1997 to 2001, while compiling a won-loss record of 157-124, will speak to the group of 60-and-over baseball players, their wives and guests of the TOTS, an organization which has been in existence for 45 years.

Since 1968, the TOTS have been honored with guest speakers over the years, including such UofA greats Jerry Kindall, Mike Candrea, Dick Tomey, Ed Vosberg and current Arizona baseball coach Andy Lopez.

Stitt spoke at the TOTS' luncheon back in 1997. The former Wildcat outfielder (1966-68) and a lifetime .326 hitter in his playing days with the Wildcats, stepped down as the UofA coach in 2001 at the age of 54.
