Our Tom-Toms beating the drums for another baseball tournament for the ages

By Tom Moore

It’s that time again for the Roy Hobbs Baseball World Series in Fort Myers, Florida and two BJ retirees are on the staff once again.

Tom Giffen, former sports editor, is the head honcho. Tom Moore, retired deputy news editor, is the writer for the organization. This is Moore’s 6th year in that position.

This is the 21st year for the Series and that’s the theme with an emphasis on 21 and cards. There is even a deck of cards in the gift shop made up of players and program covers over the years.

And two of the jokers are Tom Giffen and his wife, Ellen.

The Series is great fun to work for all involved; it’s like the old “family affair” that used to be the norm in businesses.

And time after time, players keep coming up to Tom G. and thanking him for the great tournament and most come back the next year.

This year we have 186 teams of amateur fast-pitch hardball. They come from all over the country and some from overseas. Ohio and the Akron area are well-represented, but you’d never know it from our beloved hometown paper. And those teams have won championships over the years.

Last week we had a team from Germany, the “German Red Barons.” This is their second year in the tournament.

This week we have teams from Russia and the Dominican Republic.

It’s a tournament where you can play ball as long as you can stand up with age divisions of 28 and up, 38 and up, 48 and up, 55 and up, 60 and up, 65s and 70s.

Teams play on the fields the Boston Red Sox and the Minnesota Twins use for spring training, so these amateurs are playing on major league turf.

The Hobbs World Series runs through the week of Nov. 18.

I enjoy working with the series because I meet so many interesting people. Like the old fellow, 70 or so, who told me that he stood out in Lee County Stadium in his baseball uniform, heard the loudspeaker music and took in the stands and the major league scoreboard and said: “I felt like I was 18 again!”

Another Hobbs assistant is Todd Windhorst, father of former BJ sports writer Brian Windhorst.

At my request, Tom provided the names of some Akron area and Ohio teams playing in Fort Myers in the Roy Hobbs Baseball World Series:

Open Division: Akron A's; Dayton Braves; Cincinnati Sting, AAAA champions this year.

Veterans division (38 years and older): Akron Brewers, Kent Mudhens, Ohio Indians. Ohio team: Cincinnati Colts.

Masters Division (48 and older): Akron Silverhawks, Cleveland Rocks, Cuyahoga Indians, Kent Mudhens. Ohio Teams: Cincinnai Colts, Dayton Cardinals, Toledo Paramount, Youngstown Astros.

Legends Division (55 and older): Akron Blues, Cleveland Pirates, Akron Silverhawks, Kent Mudhens.

60s (that’s the age group): Cincinnati Colts.

55s (age group): Youngstown Astros, Ohio Classics, Toledo Muddogs.

Vintage division (62 and older): Ohio Bucks.

Timeless (70 and older): Only division with no Ohio teams.

The league was named after the character played by Robert Redford in "The Natural," a 1984 movie based on Barnard Malamud's 1952 book. Roy Hobbs goes from obscurity to a hitting sensation at age 35, using his Wonderboy bat that was made from a tree struck by lightning. Hobbs hits one so hard and so far that it smashes the lights that illuminate the baseball field. Outstanding film.

Locally, where Giffen took over the Roy Hobbs League during his days as BJ sports editor, the Hudson Explorers clinched the 2009 Northeast Ohio AAA division by beating the Firestone Park Rangers, 9-8, in the double-elimination tournament.

And Roy Hobbs trustee Steve Sosebee of the 28s Colts and 38s ABF Knights threw out the first pitch at the Cleveland Indians Sept. 9 game at Progressive Field. The way the season went for the Tribe, maybe it should have signed some of the Roy Hobbs players.

Toms Moore & Giffen at it again

BJ Alums received this email from Beacon Journal newsroom retiree Tom Moore, in his seventh year of publishing a daily newspaper for the Roy Hobbs Baseball World Series for older players run by former BJ sports editor Tom Giffen in Fort Myers, Florida:

Here's a little something about the series.

Another year -- the 22th for the Rob Hobbs World Series in Ft. Myers. Our theme this year for the amateur baseball tournament is, what else, but Catch 22.

(In a different photo) former BJ Sports Editor Tom Giffen takes a shot of a father and son who play in the series.

And former BJ staffer Tom Moore will do the interview for "The Inside Pitch," the newsletter published most days with game results and other good stuff to keep the 191 baseball teams informed.

In the photo at right, Tom is with Akron brothers Larnie and John Martin.

The series is divided into age divisions---youngest group is 28-plus and oldest is 70-plus.

Several teams from Akron are taking part and they usually make a good showing.

And Moore says snapping a picture of Giffen snapping a picture is just fair play, since Giffen did the same to Moore last year.

Got a photo of me and my "bodyguards" coming. They are (brothers) Larnie and John Martin from Akron, umpires and members of the Hobbs staff. Real nice guys.

Giffen, now 61, in 1990 formed a four-team league of adult men playing out of Akron. The next year the league grew to 11 teams and joined Roy Hobbs Baseball, which was owned by Ron Monks of California. In 1992 Monks sold Roy Hobbs Baseball to Giffen and his wife, Ellen.

For several years, Giffen ran Roy Hobbs Baseball out of his basement and continued to work at the Beacon Journal. In the mid-1990s, as the organization brought in more and more teams, Giffen resigned from the BJ to work full time at his business.

Roy Hobbs is the fictional hero of Bernard Malamud's novel, “The Natural,” and the movie starring Robert Redford as Hobbs.

Richmond, Virginia native Tom Moore, 79, interviews, photographs and publishes a daily newspaper for the tournament that draws teams from around the United States, Germany and Russia. Tom and wife Dot have four children, including three daughters who were copygirls at the BJ.

Click on the headline for dozens of photos of Tom Moore and Tom Giffen at the Roy Hobbs Baseball World Series complex in Fort Myers, Florida. The games are played on the same Lee County fields that the Boston Red Sox use for their spring training.

Tom-Toms rest after beating baseball drums all day

Tom Moore, Tom Giffen

BJ newsroom retiree Tom Moore and former BJ sports editor Tom Giffen relax after another long day at the Roy Hobbs Baseball World Series in Fort Myers, Florida.

Giffen owns and runs the Hobbs program. Moore handles the daily newspaper with game information and player interviews.

This is the 25th anniversary of the Hobbs tournament for older players. It will end this month. Players from around the world show up for the event.

Tom-Toms Moore & Giffen together in sunny Florida for 10th year

BJ newsroom retiree Tom Moore is in Florida for his 10^th year of helping former BJ sports editor Tom Giffen on the 25^th anniversary of the Roy Hobbs World Series for older baseball players.

 

The games are played in Fort Myers, Florida. Tom provides interviews and game information in a daily newspaper for players from about 200 teams around the world.

The series is divided into age divisions---youngest group is 28-plus and oldest is 70-plus. The teams play on the fields the Boston Red Sox and the Minnesota Twins use for spring training. 

Giffen in 1990 formed a four-team league of adult men playing out of Akron. The next year the league grew to 11 teams and joined Roy Hobbs Baseball, which was owned by Ron Monks of California. In 1992 Monks sold Roy Hobbs Baseball to Giffen and his wife, Ellen.

For several years, Giffen ran Roy Hobbs Baseball out of his basement and continued to work at the Beacon Journal. In the mid-1990s, as the organization brought in more and more teams, Giffen resigned from the BJ to work full time at his Roy Hobbs enterprise.

Roy Hobbs is the fictional hero of Bernard Malamud's novel, “The Natural,” and the movie with Robert Redford as Hobbs.

Tom-Toms beating drums again

BJ newsroom retiree Tom Moore, 80, Facebooks this:

"Back in fla. for the roy hobbs world series. We have 212 teams this year."

This will be Richmond, Virginia native Tom Moore's eighth year of providing daily accounts for the baseball tournament run by former BJ sports editor Tom Giffen. It's the 23rd year for the tournament named after the Robert Redford character in "The Natural" movie.

The teams are placed in divisions according to age, 28 to 80.

Giffen uses the spring training facilities of the Boston Red Sox and the Minnesota Twins in Fort Myers, Florida. An 18-wheeler took Giffen's office from Akron-Peninsula Road to Ft. Myers.

The event brings $9 million into the Fort Myers economy.

Giffen in 1990 formed a four-team league of adult men playing out of Akron. The next year the league grew to 11 teams and joined Roy Hobbs Baseball, which was owned by Ron Monks of California. In 1992 Monks sold Roy Hobbs Baseball to Giffen and his wife, Ellen.

Giffen, 62, does this despite having leukemia (in remission), hips replaced and a stent for his heart problem.

Last of JSK crew gone?

Editorial page columnist Steve Hoffman left the BJ today, joining former managing editor Doug Oplinger and preceding photographer/line drawer/marathon bicylist Denny Gordon by a week.

Others taking Ol’ Blue Walls’ buyout offers are reporter Marilyn Miller, photographer Michael Chritton and copy editor Susan Gapinski Price, married to editor/nostalgia writer Mark J. Price.

According to my math from the online BJ newsroom list, that will leave 57, from Editor Bruce Winges to the message clerk. There was closer to 250 during my time at the BJ.

I’m wracking my brain trying to think of anyone left who was there when John S. Knight was running the show, after his yearly return from Miami by way of the Kentucky Derby in Louisville the first Saturday in April. Chaffeur Gene Cecchi drove the car to Akron. JSK flew to Louisville and Akron each year.

The best newspaper owner I ever worked for – and there were seven in my 43-year career – passed away June 16, 1981. So there would have to be someone at the BJ in his/her 36^th year at Ol’ Blue Walls to have seen JSK walk into his corner office on 44 E. Exchange Street.

Current Editor Bruce Winges started in 1983, two years after Mr. Knight passed away.

By the way, John Knight and I had something in common: We both were born in West Virginia.

I was born in Monongah, 3 miles from Fairmont and 25 miles from Morgantown. JSK was born October 26, 1894 in Bluefield, on the southern border of my native state. He could see Virginia from his crib.

Doug had been there 45 years, so he shared the same air as JSK. So did I since I arrived in 1969 and retired in 1996, dyslexic numbers if you only count the last two numbers of each year.

Arguably the best columnist in BJ history, Bob Dyer, didn’t leave the Wooster Daily Record to join the Beacon till 1984, after JSK passed on.

Editorial page editor Michael Douglas joined the BJ about a year after Bruce.

Thanks to Advertising Makeup retiree Mike Williams who has the 1982 BJ employee roster:

John Knight was editor emeritus and Elizabeth Sammeth was his secretary. After JSK’s passing, she shared secretarial duties for vice president/editor Paul Poorman with Helen Coy.

I was on the board of the Cuyahoga Falls Amateur Baseball Association for a decade with Helen’s brother, Al Coy.

Jim Gels was vice president/general manager. Maxine Revay was his secretary.

Bill Schlemmer was assistant to the general manager.

In the Art Department were chief artist Bud Morris, Dennis Earlenbaugh, Dennis Haas, Art Krummel and Walt Neal.

In the Photo Department were chief photographer Bill Hunter, Paul Tople, Ott Gangl, Denny Gordon (soon to be the final JSK retiree), Ron Kuner, Marcia Nighswander, Don Roese, Lew Stamp, Bill Wade and Ted Walls.

In the Business News Department were business editor Jim Toms, Bob Henretty and the recently retired managing editor Doug Oplinger.

On the Copy Desk were Larry Froelich, Roger Mezger, Dick McLinden, Carol Camp, Art Cullison, George Davis (who may still be doing part-time stories; I’m not sure), Don Fermoyle, Donn Gaynor, Don Hawk, Tim Hayes, Barb Lumpkins, Mickey Porter and Gene Winski.

In the Sports Department were executive sports editor Stuart Warner, sports editor Tom Melody, Paul Bailey, Jim Derendal, Tim Farkas, Barry Forbis, Kevin Huhn, Ken Krause, Mike Naragon, Bob Nold, Sheldon Ocker, Larry Pantages, Jack Patterson, John Seaburn, Dick Shippy, Dan Thom, Ray Yanucci and Milan Zban.

In the Reference Library were chief librarian Cathy Tierney, assistant librarian Vick Victoria, Francis Crago, Marge Davis, Paul Gna, Diane Lynch, Tanya Parnell and Dick Vidergar.

In the Features Department were assistant managing editor Jim Nolan, Features Editor Ann Mezger, Sandy Levenson, secretary Rosemary Rountree, Beacon Mag editor Bill Bierman, secretary Lillian Petraitis, Action Line chief Craig Wilson, David Bianculli, Connie Bloom, Jewell Cardwell, Bob Downing, Mark Faris, Daphne Ginnings, Betsy Lammerding, Russ Musara, Char Nevada, Bill O’Connor, yours truly John Olesky as the TV Editor, Polly Paffilas, Joan Rice, Don Rosenberg, Ted Schneider, Jane Snow, Bill Snyder and Jabe Tarter.

In the Columbus bureau were chief Mike Cull, Suzanna Gussler and Bill Hershey.

The news editors were Al Fitzpatrick, secretary Janice Reschke, executive editor Dale Allen, secretary Cindy Irby, Dave Boerner, Bill Winter, Bob Jodon, Harry Liggett (founder of the BJ Alums blog) and Tom Moore.

The Editorial writers were Dave Cooper, Ron Clark, cartoonist Chuck Ayers, Helen Carringer, Ken Cole, IQ supreme Hal Fry and Sol Schwartz.

In National News were Colleen Murphy (later Tigelman), Ron Shinn and Debby Stock.

On the Metro Desk were top honchos Tim Smith and Abe Zaidan, Keith McKnight, John Dunphy, Kathy Fraze, Webb Shaw, clerk Sue Reynolds, Don Bandy, Bill Canterbury, Jim Carney, Karen Chuparkoff, Jim Dettling, Leon Dobbs, Pat Engelhart, Marilyn Geewa, Pete Geiger, Dick Henson, Steve Hoffman, Bob Hoiles, Ida James, John Kostrzewa, Chuck Lally, Marilyn Mastroianni, Chuck Montague, Barb Mudrak, Frances Murphey, Dick McBane, Dennis McEaneney, Ken Nichols, Pat Norman, Terry Oblander, Diane Paparone, Bob Paynter, Nancy Peacock, Pete Phipps, Mary Grace Poidomani, Roland Queen, Rick Reiff, Tom Ryan, Dave Scott and Brian Usher.

If my math is right, there were 159 in the newsroom in 1981 (more before I retired in 1996).

I went through the entire list of newsroom and Composing employees. I did not see the name of anyone still at the BJ. If I’m wrong, email me at jo4wvu@neo.rr.com with the name of someone still at the BJ who was there before June 1981.

After reading this article, former BJ columnist Steve Love wrote:

Hey John,

 

Thanks for the Last of JSK Crew list and the 1981 roster. I can't think of other JSK people remaining but did notice a couple of us  who joined the BJ in 1981 left off the roster—Ed Meyer, Browns writer, and myself, then the Metro columnist.

 

I arrived a couple of weeks after Jack Knight's death, coming from another Knight-Ridder newspaper, the Wichita Eagle [there was the afternoon Beacon in those days, too] and having worked for the Miami Herald in the days of JSK winter sojourns to that clime and newsroom.

 

Ed came from Florida, too, where he covered the Tampa Bay Bucs for the Clearwater newspaper.

So much change.

 

Hope you are both well and the same. Some things should not change. 

 

Steve

Mike Williams provided some insight into JSK’s chauffer, Gene Cecchi:

Hi John,

Every once in a while I think of Gene Cecchi, John Knight's long-time chauffeur, but usually at the time can't remember his last name.  So just now I went to Google search to find it.  Only one link on my first screen referred to Gene, an article written by Clark Hoyt in 2002 on Stanford University's JSK scholarship program page.  I thought it was worth sharing for its insights into the JSK legend.

Gene often came downstairs to John Grimm's office to hang out while JSK conducted business on the third floor.  He always had a Racing Form with him, and I suspect one of his undocumented duties was to identify romising horseflesh for his boss. 

 

I don't remember if Gene was a smoker, but John's office, to my dismay, was one of the last holdouts in the building against the No Smoking campaign.

9th year for 2 former BJ Toms' project

Beacon Journal newsroom retiree Tom Moore is in his 9th year of publishing a daily newspaper for the Roy Hobbs Baseball World Series for older players run by former BJ sports editor Tom Giffen in Fort Myers, Florida, in October and November. 

The photo shows Giffen at a staff meeting and in consultation with Moore.

Moore writes stories for "The Inside Pitch," the newsletter published most days with game results and other stuff about the 200+ baseball teams of older players.

The series is divided into age divisions---youngest group is 28-plus and oldest is 70-plus.

Giffen, now 63, in 1990 formed a four-team league of adult men playing out of Akron. The next year the league grew to 11 teams and joined Roy Hobbs Baseball, which was owned by Ron Monks of California. In 1992 Monks sold Roy Hobbs Baseball to Giffen and his wife, Ellen.

For several years, Giffen ran Roy Hobbs Baseball out of his basement and continued to work at the Beacon Journal. In the mid-1990s, as the organization brought in more and more teams, Giffen resigned from the BJ to work fulltime at his business.

Roy Hobbs is the fictional hero of Bernard Malamud's novel, “The Natural,” and the movie starring Robert Redford as Hobbs.

Everyone at BJ in 1981

Advertising Makeup retiree Mike Williams, between visits to Mexico and South America, provided me with this 1981 BJ employees directory.

It’s in alphabetical order, regardless of department, so you can see if your name or the names of your former co-workers are listed.

This is everyone who was in the building during JSK's final year.

These are the people who were at Ol’ Blue Walls when John S. Knight would saunter to his corner office after his winterizing in his Miami Herald office and a stopover for the Kentucky Derby on the first Saturday in April.

Read, enjoy, get as nostalgic as I did. Too many, alas, are not just gone from 44 E. Exchange Street, but have gone to That Great Newspaper in the Sky.
