Why the heck is Larry Grubbs not in the hall of fame? Had one of the best a teams in 1988 and they won state tournament that year. Plus that team qualified and played in World Series that year. In 1991 they finished 5th in major World Series and could of won it if Ritch’s didn’t put them out. One of the best coaches and sponsors softball has ever seen. On top of that a greater man then words could say. He should be in no question and there are people in that are in not as deserving. Politics! Also I hear cuz of Ron Neeley for some reason wasn’t to fond of Larry and that kept him out. No question about he should be in and had a very good team every year they played if it was the 80’s through the 90’s. hopefully they will come to realization and let this incredible man in where he should be. Thank you
