Bob Velky recognized for talent Written by Staff
Wednesday, 01 September 2010 12:45
The Connecticut ASA Hall of Fame has announced its 2010 Fast Pitch Wing inductees.
Former players Bob Velky from Stratford and Louis Plagesse, along with umpire
Cliff LaRose and sponsor George Franklin Jr., was honored at the annual Hall of Fame
dinner, Sunday, September 26th at Costa Azzurra Restaurant in Milford.
Bob Velky, who passed away in 2000, began his softball career in 1977 with the
Raybestos Cardinals.He quickly became the starting shortstop combining with
second baseman Bob Quinn, another CASA Hall of Famer, to give the Cardinals one
of the best DP combinations of all time.In eight seasons with the Cardinals, Velky was
a member of two national championship teams.One of his major offensive highlights
came in the 1984 World Softball Tournament in Michigan, when he homered to send the
game with New Zealand into extra innings, a game won by the Cardinals.
Velky was an outstanding infielder for the Bunnell High baseball team and later on the
collegiate level at both Housatonic Community and Sacred Heart colleges.
Velky also played slow pitch for Avco Textron Lycoming and Clairol.
In all, Velky played in 11 National Tournaments and one World Tournament.
Louis Plagesse started his 20-year career with the Raybestos Hawks of Stratford
in 1962 - 1963.A strong defensive outfielder, he then spent two years with both the
Waterbury Bombers and Norwalk Eagles, before joining the Mar Parks team in
New Britain.When the Mar Parks team disbanded, Plagesse moved on to play 10 years
for the Poughkeepsie Brewers, who won four regional titles in that span.
In 1972, he was co-MVP in the regionals. In the National Tournament, Poughkeepsie finished third in 1972 and 1973.A good contact hitter, Plagesse usually batted in the
number two slot. He currently resides in East Haven.
Cliff LaRose has been an umpire since 1989 and has worked three ASA National
championships. The Monroe resident has umpired tournaments at many levels, and also
has served as a commissioner and tournament director for youth events for ages 16 & 18.
He also has an extensive collegiate career, umpiring the MAAC championships from
2001 - 2004 and the America East from 2005 - 2010.A former president of the Bridgeport
Umpires Association, LaRose still acts as the assigner for the Bridgeport area.
George Franklin Jr. took over the sponsorship of the Raybestos Cardinals and continued
the team’s long tradition of excellence.The Cards won four regional titles and qualified
for four national championship tournaments under his watch.
In 1983, the team won its only National title as the Franklin Cardinals. They then went on
to win the bronze medal in the 1984 ISF World Tournament.
Franklin also sponsored the Melrose Mets in Metro Boston from 1975 - 1979.
Franklin resides in Lynnfield, MA

The committee wishes to thank their classmates and guests who attended
this successful event.
