Raindrops keep fallin' on my head

Tucson Old Timers (TOTS)

60-and-over baseball

If -- and it is a big if -- the 60-and-over Tucson Old Timers take the field at Udall Park tomorrow, it'll seem like spring training all over again.

After all, the amateur baseball club played just three games in July. The cause: a record-setting month of rain with over eight inches of raindrops in and around the Tucson area. The late crooner B.J Thomas released his hit song Raindrops Keep Fallin' on my Head back in 1969. The TOTS organization was just a year old back then.

The TOTS are trying desperately to complete its 54th season. Of course, the coronavirus has played havoc with the TOTS' scheduling of games the past 16 months and now the lyrics from the Thomas hit song continues to pound through the noggin of the old-timers, bringing tears to their eyes instead of raindrops.

For goodness sakes, let's play ball!

It's time for "the boys of summer" to step to the plate and start swinging the lumber again.

Game time Monday -- August 2, 2021 -- 9 a.m.
