| May 15 stick8 1992 posts | Bobby Chapp was from the Detroit area and was very likely one of if not the best shortstops of his time. From the 70s thru the 80s and into the 90’s if you played against him you would quickly learn if you hit it to him you were going to be out. One of the classiest guys there was. Sadly, approximately 10 years years ago he passed away on the field during this tournament. Starting the following year the tournament was renamed the Bobby Chapp Memorial. |
