Tucson Old Timers (TOTS)
60-and-over baseball
There is always a player named Tolson on the 60-and-over Tucson Old Timers (TOTS) baseball club roster.
Brad Tolson, an outstanding pitcher for the University of Arizona in the early 1950s, has been a member of the TOTS organization since 1991. He just recently retired from active duty, so to speak, handing over the reins to his son Tim Tolson, 61, who is now the top home run hitter on the TOTS.
Tim, a hard-hitting lefty, has been an official member of the TOTS since he turned 60, and just about every month since he joined the organization, he's clobbered a home run or two, three...sometimes four.
Most of Tim's homers sail over the right field fence at Udall Park, and many keep rolling for another 20 or 30 feet. The Udall fence is 300 feet from home plate, but the 61-year-old can pound 'em into the trees and has been known to break a branch or two.
Today, Tim hit another one. This time, his two-year-old grandson, Tim (see above photo), was in the stands and witnessed his grandpa's power swing.
Young Timothy is just 58 years away from becoming a TOT!
