Rich excelled in football as the quarterback and baseball as a pitcher-outfielder. He also helped
Hamilton Post 31 win its first state championship in 1966. After completing his all-star career
at SHS he moved on to play at Rider College’s baseball diamond.
He continued to be a local celebrity as a member of the popular Jo-Jo’s flag football
team that won many league and playoff championships through the years. He had to “retire” after
a 20 year flag-football career but has kept active in athletics through his work as a baseball
coach. For 10 summers he has coached in the Harry Startzell Collegiate league and before that
he mentored youth teams at the Little League, Babe Ruth League and American Legion levels.
