Tom Moore at work in Florida sunshine while we shiver in Northeast Ohio

Retired Beacon Journal deputy news editor Tom Moore keeps busy for six weeks every autumn, working for former Beacon Journal sports editor Tom Giffen at the 21st annual Roy Hobbs Baseball World Series in Fort Myers, Florida.

The players, in ages into the 70s and maybe beyond, compete on 186 teams from around the nation and other countries, such as Russia and the Dominican Republic. They play on the fields the Boston Red Sox and the Minnesota Twins use for spring training.

The Hobbs World Series runs through this week.

Tom Moore writes and takes photographs for “Inside Pitch,” a daily newspaper that the Roy Hobbs company publishes daily. Game results and schedules also are printed.

Tom emails me that he plans to leave Fort Myers on Thursday to return to the #$#@% Northeast Ohio weather.
