The TOTS' outfielders

Tucson Old Timers (TOTS)

60-and-over baseball

The outfielders..and the rovers

Corona Games


When you are between the ages of 60 and 94, the outfield at Udall Park can seem pretty spacious. There is a rule with the TOTS, which allows for one extra outfielder -- a rover if you will.

That makes it a little harder on the batter as he steps into the box and can see 10 fielders in front of him  -- well  a catcher, a pitcher, four infielders and four outfielders.

The outfielders:

Ken Nebesny

Ken is quick to the ball. He was born in 1957, which makes him a young man at 62, by the TOTS' standards, that is. Nebesny plays in left field and center field mostly and can run down the ball with the best of them.

Tim Boyd

Tim Boyd, 64 is a speedster. He too spends most of his time in left or center...plays a little shortstop and can handle himself at first base as well...and at times is called upon to pitch. His tall frame and his release point seems to give the batters fits when he does take the mound. Boyd is from Tucson.

Tim Tolson

Besides playing first base and shortstop, Tolson is a force in the outfield. He usually resides in center field. See his profile on the post for TOTS' first basemen.

Dennis Crowley

Crowley is another speedster and plays anywhere in the outfield and he too pitches when called upon. Dennis is a lefty and has an assortment of slow pitches, causing havoc with the boys at the plate. But he's best known for his quickness in the outfield and his ability to run down just about every ball hit his way.


John Misiaszek

John is a steady outfielder, usually plays left center and right. Misiaszek is from London, England and is 71 and is a good hitter, capable of spraying the ball to all fields.

Ron Petersen

Ron is a hard-hitting left-hander and plays anywhere in the outfield. Petersen has been known to play first base from time to time and is also on the TOTS' huge pitching staff. Ron is 75 and is from Lamars, Iowa.


Arnie White

Arnie, 78, spends his summers in Montana on his ranch and his winters in Tucson playing ball for the TOTS. White plays right field and at times he's called upon to fill in at second base or short. Arnie was born in Fulton, New York and has been a member of the TOTS since 2010.


Roger Beebe

Roger, better known as the Tombstone Kid, plays anywhere in the outfield and is a great contact hitter. Beebe is 66, one of the young men on the team. Roger joined the TOTS in 2016. His father, Bud, played for the TOTS (1991-1997)







Reed Palmer

And, of course, Palmer is never out of any lineup. The man has it all a good glove, a cannon for an arm and leads the TOTS every year in home runs. Reed normally sets up in centerfield when he's not on the mound.


As  for the roving fielders:

Jerry Hamelin

Jerry, 79, is from Hartford, CT and has been a member of the TOTS since 2002 and is a member of the TOTS' 1,000+ hit club.





Brack Whitaker

Brack hails from Tucson, Arizona and is one of our newest members. He joined the TOTS in 2019. He's a graduate from nearby Palo Verde High School and his family used to own Whitaker Pools.





Rob Morse

Rob hails from Detroit, Michigan and has been a member of the TOTS since 2017. Morse is 72 and plays an occasional second base.



Denny Leonard

Denny is from Alberta, Canada and has been a member of the TOTS since 1992. Denny is 82 years old and is a member of the TOTS' 1,000+ hit club.


Joe Aparicio

Joe is the third oldest on the club. Joe is 86 years young and likes to play in left center field. "I don't like right field," he says.


Miguel Urtaza

Miguel turns 78 in July. Urtaza hails from Panuco, Veracruz and loves to play rover, especially in right where he has been known to come up with many highlight reel catches.
