The Hollis Rockies are part of the Granite State Over 30 Baseball League (GSBL).  The origins of the club are still a little fuzzy. The team may have started play in Hudson, NH as the Hudson Rockies under Bill Phelan. The team played at Alvirne High School. If you know the team's orgins before 1999 please send me an e-mail at henzleym@gmail.com.  Eric Woods took the team over in 2000 and then moved the Rockies to Bedford in 2001.  The team endured some difficult years while in Bedford and did not make the playoffs for several years.  Yours truly took over in 2002 where it took several years to figure out how to run a team.  For 2 seasons, Bob Woods (a.k.a. The Colonel) made the decisions on the field and I took over the accounting.  Finally the Colonel had enough and field decisions were handed over.  A few more interesting seasons followed with the team missing the playoffs (not to mention .500 records) until 2005.  Pitching is everything and with the magic arm of Pete McHugh (joined in 2004) the Rockies began to climb out of the cellar.  Securing a 9-9 record in 2005 the team finally returned to the playoffs and lost in the first round to the Astros. In 2006 the team ran out of Bedford residents and moved to Hollis and the present day home field at Daniel Webster College.  The addition of TJ Sheedy (2006), Jim Cardello (2004), Jon Wheeler (2005), Ian Wilson (2007) and Bill LaBelle (2007) the team soon became more confident and the mix of the veteran players extended to a run at the championship for 3 consecutive years.  I personally feel that the COOLER has been a stoke of managerial genius of bringing the team together.  Chemistry...you have to like each other to play well together (and steriods probably didn't hurt the 2004 Sox).  Great lifelong friendships have been made through this team and that has been the real prize of playing.
