TOTS Senior Baseball Network
60-and-over baseball
The Tucson Old Timers, the oldest organization of a senior baseball team in the country, is celebrating its 45th year in 2013. The TOTS are getting a lot of attention from the media outlets lately -- including former Tucson Citizen sports writer Steve Rivera, who recently met with me to discuss the possibility of doing profiles and the life experiences of all the current TOTS.
Rivera is the author of three books and the owner of Steve Rivera Ventures. His latest venture is transforming the life history of an individual, or team, and documenting such in newspaper form on a plaque -- highlighting their accomplishments and life's ups and downs, which all of us go through as we make our way through our brief time on this Earth.
So, sit back all you readers from the TOTS. There's more to come on this venture.
Above is a picture from the archives of one of the TOTS' teams back in 1973.
