Tucson Old Timers (TOTS)
60-and-over baseball
TOTS 2022 annual luncheon slated for April 21 at the Sonoran Stables Dance Hall
Guest speaker: Jerry Stitt (former Wildcat player and Wildcat assistant coach and head coach)
Come on down!
The 60-and-over Tucson Old Timers (TOTS) have had to put their annual luncheon and award ceremonies on hold the past two years, due to the coronavirus.
But not anymore.
On Thursday --April 21 -- the TOTS and their friends and their family members will head for the pass and turn their baseball cleats in for a pair of boots and maybe a little dancin' as the organization, in its 55th season, will hold the event, beginning at 11:30 AM, inside the Sonoran Dance Hall, located at 4231 S. Pauline Lane.
The dance hall is located off Harrison Road, between Golf Links Road and Irvington (access off East Millmar Road).
Dirt parking will be adjacent to the horse stables. Cowboy and cowgirl boots are optional. No one is going to boot you out if you have on dress shoes or sneakers!
The meal is being catered by the TOTS' own Greg Seader, who just happens to own Jethros Restaurant and Bar (Broadway and Camino Seco). A little plug for Mr. Seader is only fair. Main course options -- Herb Baked Chicken and a New York Strip Steak. Both will be served with green onion and cheese mashed potatoes, sautéed carrots and zucchini with dinner rolls.
That's plenty of food for a hungry cowboy or cowgirl...and plenty of grub for an old-time baseball player, too!
Guest speaker for the event will be Jerry Stitt (pictured above, back in his playing days, and below, as a Wildcat coach and head coach). Stitt was inducted into the Pima County Hall of Fame in 2002.
Stitt was involved in the University of Arizona baseball program for more than 27 years as a player, assistant coach and head coach. He mentored 59 position players that were drafted by major league teams and he helped Arizona win NCAA Division 1 championships in 1980 and 1986. As head coach, he led the Wildcats to back-to-back winning seasons from 1997-99.
