John Hoover

A fierce competitor, a tough out at the plate, a longtime player, manager and umpire. At the time of his induction, he was top 10 in all time hits. He played every infield position well, served on the board, as managers rep, helped implement the sub rating system and umpired in nearly all the big games played in Division 3- if he was not in those games! (And we need to make a special mention of his love and Bengals partner as well, the lovely Linda).

Inducted into The Villages Division 3 Hall of Fame on April 11, 2024
