60-and-over baseball
Ted Davis spent many years crunching numbers for the University of Arizona.
Davis (photo above) now crunches a baseball at Udall Park as a member of the Tucson Old Timers (TOTS).
The former University of Arizona Assistant Dean of Finance retired from his position at the university two years ago and joined the TOTS in the spring of 2011 as a "rookie" on the club, and for the first year, anyway, was listed as the youngest player on the roster.
Davis, now 62, played in 67 games in 2011. He batted 199 times, scored 80 runs, collected 105 hits, knocked in 58 runs and batted .528 for the year. Davis didn't let up in 2012. He played in 79 games, batted 235 times, scored 84 runs, knocked in 82 runs, accumulated 131 hits and batted a hefty .557.
This year, it is more of the same.
In January, Davis batted .556, in February .500, in March .500 and in April a cool .469.
And last month, Davis really put up some lofty numbers.
Davis played in 10 games in May. He batted 31 times (officially) and walked six times. In his 37 plate appearances, Davis recorded 22 hits, scored 16 runs, knocked in 18 runs and batted .710, by far the best on the club for May.
Davis wasn't the only TOT to put up huge numbers in May. Pete Peters was first in hits (25), runs scored (21) and in RBI with 24. Peters finished fifth in batting at .543. Bob Daliege finished 2nd in hits (24) and 2nd in batting average at .649. Pigpen Price finished 3rd in hits (23), tied for 2nd in RBI (18), while finishing 4th in batting at .575. Dennis Crowley and Chico Bigham were also among the May leaders. Crowley tied Bigham for 5th in hits with 21. Crowley finished third in batting at .583.
Other top hitters for May included Mike Steele, Ed Eckert, Arnie White, John Misiaszek, Ron Petersen and Bill Pack. All six players put up some lofty numbers as well, but all six played in six games, or less. Steele went 8 for 13 for a .615 average, while Eckert went 7 for 9 for a healthy .778 batting average. Misiaszek went 11 for 20 for a .550 average and Petersen went 13 for 23 for a .565 average. White batted .571 (4 for 7), while Pack went 9 for 16 for a .563 clip.
It was a hot May and the TOT hitters were certainly on fire.
The top two pitchers for the month of May were Lloyd Barzell and Pigpen Price. Barzell went 2-0-2, while Price finished 2-0.
