Fun fact, Moorefield has had just 3 baseball coaches since George Hott spurned the Washington Redskins to take the job in 1957.
He’s a member of the WV Baseball Coaches association HOF
George Hott, 97, of Moorefield, one of earliest inductees into @SURamsOfficial Hall of Fame, former pro athlete and coach for the Yellow Jackets, died Thursday.
