You're never too old!



TOTS Senior Baseball Network (TSBN)

60-and-over baseball



The Tucson Old Timers (TOTS) play baseball at Udall Park three days a week.

The TOTS continue to prove that you're never too old to play America's favorite pastime.

In the photo above, Floyd Lance, 87, takes a rip, while third basemen Pigpen Price, 68,  and left fielder Jerry Hamelin, 72, look on. Peter Peters, 64, is the catcher.

The TOTS have been playing baseball in Tucson for 45 years and for their "special" games dress out and don two sets of uniforms -- a blue jersey and a white, but for their regular weekly games it is "anything goes." Sometimes, that alone, is worth the admission, which is free by the way.

Occasionally, the stands are full of anywhere from five to 10 fans, some just walk by, take a seat and simply shake their heads. Their responses are similar. "How old is that guy out there? Can old men really move like that? Who are those guys?"

Eventually the answer will come from the dugout.

"We are the TOTS!"
