TOTS' player enjoying the "Life of Reilly"

TOTS Senior Baseball Network

60-and-over baseball

Brian Reilly, 63, didn't play high school ball or college ball. In fact, he didn't start playing baseball until last year. He settled in Tucson with his family over a year ago, walked out the back door of his new home one day and wandered over to Udall Park.

"There were a bunch of guys playing ball," Reilly said. I asked one of them what was going on."

One of the players replied, "We are the TOTS."

Reilly, a retired computer programmer from Seattle, joined the 60-and-over baseball club soon after his initial meeting with the TOTS and the rest is history.

Blessed with speed, Reilly is among the fastest of all the TOTS and isn't afraid to try different positions. He's played in the infield and the outfield. He's caught behind the plate and today, after just 12 months with the club...he pitched and WON!

Reilly pitched all seven innings for Team Blue today. He struck out one and walked four as Team Blue edged Team White 5-4.

"I enjoyed pitching today," Reilly said, after the game. "I'm ready to do it again."

The TOTS always need pitchers. Welcome aboard, Brian.

Since joining the TOTS, Brian has always been one of the first players to show up. He helps get the field ready for play, he gets his cuts in at batting practice and then goes out and joins in on seven innings of fun. "I love every minute of it."

He's enjoying the life of Reilly.
