MITCHELL is First of Five
Hall of Fame Inductees for 2013

At a recent gathering, The Middle Atlantic Region of Babe Ruth Baseball inducted Thomas Mitchell, Sr. into the Middle Atlantic Region Hall of Fame. Mr. Mitchell volunteered in his community for over 47 years and has served in various capacities, ranging from local league to Middle Atlantic Region involvement.

Babe Ruth League Middle Atlantic Regional Commissioner Ray Lotierzo said, “Tom is a great friend and a wonderful example of a true Babe Ruth League volunteer. He not only has served the Babe Ruth Program well over the years; he has made his mark in umpiring, the basketball community, and his church as well. Tom is a great husband, father, grandfather, and citizen. His induction into the Middle Atlantic Hall of Fame is well deserved.”
