Welcome!! We love that you’re a member of the Roy Hobbs Baseball Family!

Baseball is in our blood; and the infield dirt, the smell of the grass and the crack of the bat fuel us and drive us to consume more. More time on the field. More equipment. More news and stories. More – well, you get the idea. So, take a few minutes to discover all that’s new in YOUR family. And thanks for your time and patronage of Roy Hobbs Baseball!

OUR 31st WORLD SERIES WILL BE AMAZING! Scheduling is underway and we’re getting ready to host 269 teams this year! MANAGERS: If you have not established your roster platforms and verified your players please do that before rosters close for your division (approx. 7 days prior to start of play). Players who have not registered for their teams should contact their managers. Teams who requested practice fields will be notified of time/place as soon as they are finalized.

HERE’S THE RHBB BUZZ THIS MONTH

HEROES come in all shapes, sizes and professions. Is there someone you know in our RH Family of players who is “heroic” off the field? Let us know in an email torhfamily@royhobbs.com and we might give them a shout out in our Inside Pitch editions at this year’s RHWS.

HOW WELL DO YOU KNOW OUR LOCKER ROOM DIRECTOR, MIKE MURPHEY?

YES, he runs our exceptional Locker Room Service at our tournaments; yes, he manages a couple teams in our events; yes, he’s a long-time journalist; and you might even know that he partnered with Dave Henderson (yep, THAT Dave Henderson) to operate a Baseball Fantasy Camp in Arizona for many years. However, around RHBB lately we’ve come to know him as Mike Murphey – author! And apparently he’s rubbed elbows with more than one or two MLB characters. His new book, The Conman, will be released during the RHWS and will be a great beach read while you soak up sun between games! Available on Amazon starting October 21; or pick up a copy in the Roy Hobbs Pro Shop after October 27th. Who knows – you mights even get the author to sign it while you’re there!

So if you know someone who’s still sitting in the stands get them back on the field. Send them our newsletter and tell them Roy has a spot on his roster.
