Tucson Old Timers (TOTS)
60-and-over baseball
Team Blue cruised to 10-0 win over Team White today at Udall Park in a 60-and-over Tucson Old Timers game. Team Blue had the pitcher and the hitter to get the job done.
Lefty Dennis Crowley, from Boston, says he watched Chris Sale pitch in the World Series and picked up a few pointers on how to mow down opposing teams. Crowley's fastball has nowhere near the velocity of a Sale, but the former electrician and a member of the Tucson Old Timers since 2010, threw plenty of strikes today en route to an easy win.
Crowley, who turned 69 on October the 9th, got all the support he needed when 62-year-old, hard-hitting lefty Reed Palmer nailed a grand slam home run in the the top of the fourth inning. It was Palmer's record-breaking 25th home run of the season -- the most home runs hit in a single season by a member of the TOTS.
It was a beautiful day at the ball park today, especially for Crowley and Palmer.
The TOTS return to action on Monday at Udall. Game time 9 a.m.
