One of the most inspirational stores in sports today. A natural left hander, Rich was severely wounded in Vietnam, nearly losing his left arm. Rich retrained himself to pitch right handed and became the best there is... so good in fact, that the Philadelphia Phillies once offered him a pro contract to pitch softball style. Rich is a classic example of self determination overcoming adversity, committing to a dream and achieving greatness. A true figure of Americana, Rich Hoppe is a barnstormer; the last of a dying breed - the last gunslinger riding from town to town, taking on all comers from the All-Stars of Anytown USA to the legends of Major League Baseball. Originally from Bayonne, New Jersey, Rich now lives in Burbank, California with his wife and daughter. |
