Tucson Old Timers (TOTS)
60-and-over baseball
October was a slow month as far as action goes for the 60-and-over Tucson Old Timers (TOTS).
The rain caused a few cancellations at Udall Park and many of the "young studs" spent one or two weeks in Phoenix participating in the 2015 Men's Senior Baseball League (MSBL) World Series.
In fact, only six official games were played by the "old-timers" in October.
It was the usual suspects leading the way. Doc Thompson and Ted Davis were the top hitters. Davis played in five games and went 10 for 15 for a .667 average. He scored five runs and knocked in nine runs. Thompson played in all six games and went 12 for 18, also a .667 average. Thompson scored five runs and collected 10 RBI. He led the team in doubles with six.
And how about those 80-somethings?
Once again, it was 90-year-old Floyd Lance as the "top gun" with eight hits in 19 trips to the plate, a respectable .421 average. He drove in seven runs! Jerry Smarik, 83, batted .333 and Archie Burke, 83, had three hits and a .231 average for the month.
