I only lived in Rapid City for 5 years, but spending summer nights watching the hardhats compete against the best in baseball were always highlights of our 5 year stay. My son, like so many boys, dreamed of playing for Post 22 as much as playing for a major league team. That legacy is as impressive as the 2,483 wins he tabulated. One national championship, several other appearances in the World Series and a plethora of state tournament championships are all very impressive. His teams averaged nearly 53 wins per season. It is rare for a legion team anywhere to win 53 games in a season, much less average that many wins over a 47 year career.
Hard'hats' off to Dave Ploof and his wife Patty as they get to enjoy a little bit more life of living in the paradise of the Black Hills!
