Managing life through baseball
Butch Hobson, the Barnstormers’ new
skipper, is a classic players’ manager
BY BURT WILSON
Sports Staff
Here’s the key to Butch
Hobson’s success as a manager:
Baseball is not the most impor-
tant thing in his life.
It’s that simple. Many es-
pouse that philosophy. But Hob-
son lives it and gets his players
to buy into it. The ironic thing is,
it leads to more victories on the
field.
It’s not that he doesn’t care
about the game. He wants to win,
does win, and when he crosses
those white lines, baseball is the
only thing that matters.
But before and after the
game, he’s more concerned
about the welfare of his players.
And the players appreciate that
and they prepare harder, play
harder and the effort is evident
in the results.
“You don’t want to let him
down, said Derrick DePriest,
the Barnstormers closer in 2007,
who played for Hobson at both
Nashua and Southern Mary-
land. “You know how much he
believes in you, and you just
feel special ’cause you’re one of
his guys.”
The road to Hobson’s mana-
gerial career began on the
gridiron. Hobson grew up in
football-crazed Alabama, even
played for the legendary Bear
Bryant.
He was an exceptional base-
ball player, maybe could have
gotten drafted out of high
school.
But ...
“When you grow up in Ala-
bama, you play football,” Hob-
son said.
A quarterback, Hobson
played well against Nebraska
in the Orange Bowl at the end of
his junior season, entering the
game for the injured starter.
Knowing he wasn’t going to
make it to the NFL, and having
scouts in his ear about how good
he could be at baseball, Hobson
decided he wanted to concen-
trate on the summer game.
But he had to break the news
to Bryant that he was leaving
the football team.
“I went into his office a week
before we were going to start
April  28,  2011 
two-a-days,” Hobson said. “I
said, ‘I really want to concen-
trate on my baseball, coach.’”
Bryant had his back to Hob-
son looking out his office win-
dow, onto the Alabama baseball
field. Smoking a Pall Mall, of
which he consumed about four
non-filtered packs a day, Bryant
said to Hobson, “From what I’ve
seen of your baseball playing,
you’ll be back with me playing
football next year.”
“That motivated me,” Hob-
son said. “I thought, I’m gonna
show him I can do it. But Coach
was always doing things like
that to motivate his players.”
Following a good baseball
season for the Crimson Tide in
the spring of ’73, Hobson was
drafted in the eighth round by
the Boston Red Sox. Late that
summer, he signed and was
sent to Winston-Salem, Boston’s
high Class A team. He played 17
games that year and all of the
’74 season at Winston-Salem.
The next season, he played
138 games for Double-A Bristol
and then got the call. On Sept. 7,
1975, Hobson made his major-
league debut at Fenway Park.

Another player who will add
pop in the middle of the lineup
is Tommy Everidge, who also
might not be in Lancaster for an
extended time. Everidge had 20
or more homers four different
seasons in the Oakland organi-
zation.
“We’re going to lose some
guys (to affiliated organiza-
tions),” Hobson said. “That’s
just the way it is. You have to
prepare for that.”
The only drawback to all the
big boppers is some may have
to play out of position to get all
the bats in the lineup. So, for
example, at some point this sea-
son, fans will see Aaron Herr in
the outfield.
“He said he liked it and wants
to try a whole game there,” Hob-
son said of Herr, who played a
stint in right field during an ex-
hibition game.
The Barnstormers’ speed
contingent will be led by yet
another switch hitter, Gilberto
Mejia, who will be at second
base and at the top of the Barn-
stormers’ lineup.
“This kid will steal 35 bases
Terry Tiffee is one of Lancast-
er’s three switch hitters.

and be an all-star in our league,”
Hobson said.
J.C. Holt is the Barnstorm-
ers’ center fielder. Holt played
the outfield at LSU before being
drafted by Atlanta and convert-
ed to an infielder.
“I’m really excited about his
speed,” Hobson said. “He can
really cover it in center field.”
Holt will still spend some
time in the infield since the
Barnstomers lost Hainley Sta-
tia, the man who was penciled
in as the starting shortstop
when he was signed by the Mil-
waukee Brewers.
Adam Godwin will also be in
the outfield.
“He’s an excellent outfield-
er,” Hobson said. “If he plays
consistently, he can steal 35 or
40 bases.”
The starting rotation for the
Barnstormers shapes up like
this:
Lefty Ross Peeples, who
is the last remaining original
Barnstormer, will start the sea-
son opener. Peeples started 20
games for the ’Stormers in ’06,
their inaugural season, but he
has been a reliever since that
time, except for making six
spot starts last season.
Right-hander Jerome Wil-
liams, who has pitched in 76
major league games, will start.
Matt Wright, a right-hander
who was in the Braves organi-
zation, will also start this sea-
son.
“He’s a big strong starter
who’s going to eat up innings
this year,” Hobson said.
Knuckleballer Charlie Zink,
who made it to the majors with
Boston in 2008, will fill another
spot.
The last spot in the rotaton
will be filled by Zack Parker,
who played for the Barnstorm-
ers part of 2007 and 2008 and all
of ’09. He will join the team May
4 after completing his semester
at the University of Texas.

ers in appearances with 62, and

16  April  28,  2011 Barnstormers 2011
Boston Red Sox players from
left Carlton Fisk, George
Scott, Jim Rice and Butch
Hobson gather in the locker
room after a June 23, 1977
game with the Baltimore
Orioles in Baltimore. Fisk hit
two home runs and the others
hit one each, setting a major
league mark for most home
runs in eight consecutive
games with a total of 29.
Hobson
Continued from 5
And now, he is set for his first
season as the Barnstormers’
skipper.
Associated Press
Along the way, his Nashua
team won the Atlantic League ti-
tle in 2000 and a Can-Am cham-
pionship in 2007. He earned
Manager of the Year Honors in
2001, 2005, 2007 and 2008.
Seven of his nine Atlantic
League teams reached the play-
offs and four of those reached
the finals.
The key to his team’s win-
ning, according to Hobson, has
been bringing in stellar base-
ball players who are also quality
guys off the field.
“He finds the right guys,” De-
Priest said. “He won’t just chase
after the best ballplayer, he finds
the right fit.”
“I will never put up with a
turd,” Hobson said. “I’ve never
had to, except (when told to by an
organization). If I can’t change a
player in a two-week period to
be what I think he’s supposed to
Lancaster, P a.
be as a man and as and athlete,
then I’ll send him somewhere
else. Because I’m not wasting
my time anymore.’’
“He cares about his players,”
Barnstormers batting coach
Lance Burkhart said. “He puts
together a great group of guys
and everyone knows his role.
“He has an eye for talent and
he puts them in situations where
they are going to be success-
ful.”
However, it’s not all lovey-
dovey.
“If things don’t go right, he’s
got a way of resolving it,” De-
Priest said. “But it’s going to be
based on hard work, not a lot of
smoke and mirrors.”
“I don’t tolerate loafing,”
Hobson said. “I don’t tolerate
cockiness. I want you to be confi-
dent and walk with an air of con-
fidence. But you put your pants
on like everyone else.
“You don’t stand at home
plate and watch balls. If it’s a
walk-off, stand at home plate
and watch it. But if it doesn’t go
over the fence, I’m going to be
on you.”
Hobson feels his most impor-
tant job is teaching his players.
Yes, he teaches baseball. He’s al-
ways at the cage offering advice
on a player’s swing. But he feels
his most important job is coun-
seling them about things off the
field.
“Coach Bryant taught us life
after football,” Hobson said. “I
try to teach life after baseball,
because these guys have to real-
ize it’s real close.”
But before those careers
come to an end, it would not be a
shock if his players helped their
manager win another champi-
onship.
