Tucson Old Timers (TOTS)
60-and-over baseball
Rich Alday, inducted into the Pima County Hall of Fame in 1994, will be the guest speaker on April 18 at the Tucson Old Timers' annual luncheon to be held at Vivace's Restaurant.
Alday was an All-City and All-State quarterback on the 1965 Tucson High School State Championship football team. A star baseball player with the Badgers, Alday would go on and receive an All-American honorable mention as a catcher at Emporia State College.
He would go on to coach baseball at Pima College (517-251) for 17 years and was a former head coach for the University of New Mexico Lobos from 1990-2007, collecting 515 wins.
The TOTS, a 60-and-over amateur baseball organization currently in the middle of its 52nd season, hold their awards luncheon every April and former speakers include Ed Vosberg, Jerry Kindall, Jerry Stitt, Greg Hansen, George Arias and Eddie Leon -- just to name a few of Tucson's local sports heroes.
The luncheon will be from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. and recognition awards will be handed out -- including the club's 2019 Sportsman of the Year and the TOT of the Year.
