Remembering Toby Walker

We are devastated by the news of our good friend Toby Walker passing away this past weekend.

Toby umpired hundreds of NCBA games throughout the years. As a Binghamton (NY) native, he consistently worked games for the local NCBA member schools in the area. On top of that, 2022 also marked his 8th consecutive year working both the NCBA Division I & Division II World Series events.

Toby loved the game of baseball & we were incredibly lucky to have him be a part of our family all these years. A great umpire, but an even better person. Toby will be greatly missed on and off the field.

Our thoughts & prayers go out to his family during this time.

We will post any information regarding arrangements should they become available.
