In 2012, in recognition of nearly a quarter century of serving as our league president, the Robert E. Hinzman Classic was established. Bob Hinzman served as President during the time when our league migrated from the middle school fields to our present location at River Bend. He was instrumental in establishing our league in District 8.

Thousands of players have passed through our league during his tenure and he still remembers many of them. Bob, could be seen in the press box watching baseball nearly every evening and around the park on Saturday mornings and during the off season maintaining the complex.

Bob resigned his position of president in 2011 but still remains on our Board of Directors. In June of 2013, during the 11 year old WV State Tournament, he was honored by the District 8 Administrator by being named as an Honorary Assistant District Administrator.

Bob can still be found in the press box watching baseball, when you see him...thank him for his service and time that he has given to the players, past and present.

The REH Classic is a post season, round robin tournament involving our Major League Baseball division.
