Jim Brannon

Beginning in 2013, he was as good an outfielder as the league ever had, usually in left center or right center field and almost always a 1st round pick (especially when Carlos Lopez was managing!). Dedicated to the league, he played 3 seasons almost every year, was member of the Board of Directors for 6 consecutive years ending in 2024. Popular to all who knew him, he ran well and was a tough out especially with runners on base. At the time of his induction, he had a lifetime batting average over .550 with more than 1,200 hits, 240 extra base hits (including nearly 60 home runs!) and 750+ RBIs. An avid base guitarist, he has been part bands in The Villages as well. And he is most proud of getting to play ball in front of his parents as they cheered him on!

Inducted into The Villages Division 3 Hall of Fame on April 14, 2025
