2015 Lifetime Achievement: Teddy Giovanni

Over the past 45 years Teddy Giovanni has umpired numerous leagues and tournaments in the Joliet area. In addition to umpiring different classifications, Teddy has umpired at the state level while also doing National Invitational Tournaments. Teddy's most memorable tournaments are those hosted in Joliet during the "City Tournament."

Teddy enjoys umpiring still today. Umpiring has been very rewarding and he still loves the challenges it presents. Teddy would like to thank Tim Johnson, Jerry Henry, Mike Mackey, Tom Seddon and Dave Catalani making this opportunity so rewarding for him. Teddy has dedicated his time from what was once just a recreational time to a commitment spanning over four decades.
