Tucson Old Timers (TOTS)
60-and-over baseball
Jon Beady is a man among boys.
The term "boys" is used loosely here, as the Tucson Old Timers' players range in age from 62 to 79. Make that 86 with our player/scorekeeper/audio buff Ted Roberts on the roster with 45 old dudes who play for the love of the game.
Beady, though, owned the month of September. His stat line is impressive. Beady played in all 12 games with 24 hits in 33 at-bats. He walked seven times.
That calculates out to a .727 batting average.
Also, he led the team in runs scored with 21, tied for the most doubles (five, with Reed Palmer), hit two home runs, and tied (with Palmer) for the most RBI with 19.
Beady wasn't the only one that had a good September.
Joe Opocensky went 23 for 42, Randy Livingston 21 for 31, Tim Tolson 20 for 38, Bobby Long 19 for 38, and J.B. Bulawin picked up 18 hits in 40 at-bats. As for Palmer, he played in just eight games and batted .700 with 14 hits in just 20 at-bats.
On the mound, it was Palmer who sailed through September with a 3-0 record. Nine pitchers battled the hot temperatures, with Livingston logging the most innings with 31.
Way to go, TOTS!
