⚾ Umpire Appreciation Spotlight: Tim & Thomas Montgomery ⚾
Some Little League stories span generations, and the Montgomery family is one of them.
Tim Montgomery moved to Ketchikan as a young boy and has been a part of our community ever since. Over the years, he has given countless hours to Ketchikan Little League, including coaching baseball for many seasons. In 2000, he coached the Ketchikan Majors All-Star team that earned a trip to San Bernardino, California—and one of the players on that team was his son, Thomas.
Thomas grew up playing Ketchikan Little League and is now raising his own family here. Today, he's watching his own son create Little League memories of his own, continuing a tradition that has come full circle.
This season, Tim and Thomas teamed up once again—but this time as a father-and-son umpire crew. Having experienced Little League as players, coaches, parents, and now umpires, they understand what it takes to make games and tournaments successful.
Thank you, Tim and Thomas, for your dedication to Ketchikan Little League and for continuing to give back to the next generation of players. Families like yours are what make our Little League community so special. 💙⚾
