Patrick Ricci - NSSHOF Class of 2018

Pat Ricci, 73, of Toms River, N.J., was officially inducted into the National Senior Softball Hall of Fame (NSSHOF) on August 10 at the Glen Allen Sportsplex, Richmond, Va. Ricci is part of the Class of 2018 in the Player Category.

Spanning playing career of 22 years, Ricci accumulated 17.5 points towards the NSSHOF criteria, earning All-Tournament & MVP selections in World Tournaments across the three major Senior Softball Associations.

Ricci has played with some of the top teams in the Northeast, including New Jersey Mizuno 50, Jersey Classics 50, EPA Statesmen 60 and 65, Monkey Joe's 60 and 70, Jersey Metro 60, and Bradford White 65.

Michael Boone, NSSHOF Class of 2016 and SSUSA National Director, says of Ricci: “Pat is a true gentleman. He is a worthy competitor that is as intense as any player on the field, but the most soft-spoken after the games have concluded. His ability to hit in the clutch is uncanny."

Ricci recently played in the Winter National Championships with CC Medical Services 70.
