Something About Us

 

  • The Greater Lawrence Baseball Umpires Association has served the Merrimack Valley and Southern New Hampshire area at all levels of baseball officiating for the past 5 decades,. The overwhelming need for quality baseball umpires spawned the idea to create this organization in the early 1970's. Founding fathers Tom McAvoy, Bill Callagy, Walt Roberts, Larry Lafond and Marty Hamilton met in the basement of the Rendezvous Restaurant in Methuen to pool their ideas into what is now a viable, highly successful and respected umpiring association.
  • The name of the Greater Lawrence Umpires Association was a most appropriate fit because the vast majority of the membership hails from Lawrence, Haverhill, Methuen, North Andover, Andover, Lowell and the border cities and towns of southern New Hampshire.
  • The organization has grown from its humble beginnings in the 1970's of less than 20 members to the present membership of over 200. The G.L.B.U.A. has been led by past presidents Tom McAvoy, Larry Lafond, Bob O'Leary, Fred Simm, Rick Puente, Alan Anselmi, Ken Gabriel, John Shaheen, Dan Clark, Jack Gilhooly,  Scott Young, Mike Lynch, Phil Cultrera, Tom Torrisi, Rob Prunier and presently Fred Simm. Outstanding leaders have continued to consistently maintain an outstanding baseball umpiring organization.
  • Presently, the G.L.B.U.A. has twenty Lifetime members: Ron Annand, Frank Androski, Tom Clarke, Phil Cultrera, Ken Dion, Ted Houlihan, Ken Gabriel, Mike Lynch, Steve Martinelli, Fred McCann, Roy Nelson, Bob O'Leary, Bob Parker, Rob Prunier, Rick Puente, Fred Simm, Mike Walker, Jim Young, Scott Young and John Shaheen. Combined, they have over 350 years of umpiring experience. They have been the cornerstone of this association.
