Announcement!

Todd Windhorst Retiring

It is with mixed emotions that Roy Hobbs Baseball announces the retirement of Todd Windhorst, effective February 12, 2010.

Todd’s decision is health-related and Wednesday (Feb. 3) was his last day of work.

Todd’s decision leaves a hole here at Roy Hobbs, not just that a key employee is leaving but rather my best friend and closest confidant for more than 15 years won’t be in the next office, keeping me out of trouble and acting as a sounding board on many aspects of Roy Hobbs and NEORH business. We are going to miss his diligence, cracker-jack wit, ever-present cup of coffee, and his penchant for getting to the meat of any discussion.

Todd’s decision is based on what is best for him and his health. I am happy for him … that he felt he could focus on what is best and that he could make his decision that is in his best interests.

While there is something about this baseball business and the dugout that bonds us to each other, I am happy that he is not really gone but actually a phone call away. It’s not like we don’t burn up the phone lines anyway, and that will continue.

Todd has worked two stints as my executive assistant at Roy Hobbs, 1996-2000 when he left for an outstanding opportunity, and then he returned part time in the fall of 2007 and rejoined us full time Feb. 11, 2008. It’s right on 2 years.

It has been a great run for us, and it’s hard seeing the departure of a friend, not just a friend to me but a friend to all of our baseball colleagues.

We wish Todd well and know that you do as well.
