ELECTED: NOVEMBER 2005 INDUCTED: NOVEMBER 2006

ORLANDO, FL SCOTTSDALE, AZ

BOBBY LOURIA FROM DEARBORN, MI HAS BEEN INDUCTED INTO THE USSSA HALL OF FAME IN THE MALE PLAYER CATEGORY.

HIS 29 YEAR USSSA CAREER HAS SEEN HIM PLAY WITH CUSTOM WALL, LEZOTLE BUILDERS, ACADEMY REALTORS, MURPHY CHEVROLET, DOUGHBUOYS, SEAWAY MECHANICAL, SOUTHGATE MERCHANTS, LAKESHORE HOUSE, CLEMENTES BAR, MILLER AUTO, SOUTHGATE INN, SOUTHWESTERN, SUNSET TECHNOLOGIES, BUNCA, MANITOWIC ICE, AND PEOPLES CHOICE TV. HIS LIFETIME BATTING AVERAGE STANDS AT .580 WITH OVER 100 HOME RUNS. AS A PITCHER HE PITCHED 8 ONE HIT GAMES COMPILED A 4000/300 WON LIST RECORD ON THE FIELD.

HIS MOST THRILLING MOMENTS WERE WINNING THE CLASS “AA” WORLD TOURNAMENT IN KALAMAZOO, MI IN 1990 THEN GOING ON TO THE MEN’S MAJOR WORLD SERIES FINISHING FOURTH.

BOBBY’S GREATEST TALENT WAS NOT JUST PITCHING. WHEN HE STEPPED ON THE MOUND, IT WAS “SHOWTIME.” UNNERVING PLAYERS AND ENTERTAINING THE FANS BROUGHT HIM A GREAT DEAL OF PERSONAL SATISFACTION. FROM CONEHEADS AND COITS TO FLAMES ERUPTING FROM HIS GLOVE AT THE START OF A PITCH, THERE IS ONE THING BOBBY WAS NOT, AND THAT WAS PREDICTABLE.
