Mike and Teresa Dyke :: 2021 Hall Of Fame Inductees
Mike and Teresa Dyke with Executive Committee
Annually, the Ohio Hot Stove Baseball League recognizes those who have and continue to contribute greatly to our organization and to the betterment and sustainment of youth baseball in our communities. This year, we recognize two individuals who are truly examples of the type of people whose character and dedication keep Hot Stove Baseball alive. They work tirelessly to make certain that every young boy and girl in their character and surrounding charters are afforded the opportunity to play baseball and are wholly committed to their success. This year’s recipients of the Hall of Fame Award truly exemplify what it means to serve others without any expectation of personal gain. Among other things, they have coached, managed, and volunteered in many capacities over the years and are currently serving as President and Treasurer of the Sebring West Branch Hot Stove Baseball League. Thank you for all that you do. It is my great honor and privilege to present the 2021 OHSBL Hall of Fame Award to my friends and colleagues, Mike and Teresa Dyke.
Ohio Hot Stove is proud to announce that Mike and Teresa Dyke were inducted into the Ohio Hot Stove Hall of Fame!
Pat Anderson :: 2021 Cy Butler Award Winner
Pat Anderson with Executive Committee
It is a great honor to nominate Pat Anderson for the Ohio Hot Stove Cy Butler Award. Pat's involvement in Hot Stove Baseball began in 1999 when he began coaching his son Patrick. In 2015, Pat's team, The North Ridgeville Rays, captured the Class E State title. After the championship run, Pat took a break from coaching, but returned three seasons ago to help coach the Farm Minor team, the TLC Rays (without having a child on the team). We believe this displayed not only a love for the game but the investment in future athletes. Pat also serves as an assistant coach on the North Ridgeville High School Varsity Baseball team.
Pat has held many positions at Palmer Field including President, Vice-President, Secretary and currently serves as the league's Treasurer. Throughout Pat's tenure as Board Member at Palmer Field, he was instrumental to the improvement and growth of the organization. Pat has taken on the responsibility of leading/teaching fellow board members and coaches in the promotion of the league and the sport of baseball. Pat was a part of many projects at Palmer Field such as the construction of two batting cages, renovations of the bathrooms, several drainage projects and upgrades to the concession stand. In Pat's current role, Pat is able to analyze financial trends and project costs that help keep the North Ridgeville Baseball League one of the strongest organizations around!
Pat has also served in many roles on the Lorain County and Ohio Hot Stove Boards, such as State Commissioner, Recording Secretary and Executive Secretary.
Respectfully submitted,
The North Ridgeville Baseball League
