BIO:

George Young sponsored softball teams in Greater Cincinnati from 1982 through 1994 through his business, Weber’s Café, which he purchased some 26-years ago.  Playing as Weber’s, Treb-de-Fox, and Joe & George’s, Young’s team left its mark on local softball, winning several prominent league and tournament titles.  They accomplished a three-peat in Rumpke Park’s Wednesday night major league in 1985, 1986, and 1987, and also won the Expressway Park Monday night major league in 1986.  In 1983, despite being over-matched against some of the area’s top-ranked teams, Young’s Joe & George’s stunned a field that included area powerhouses like Jay’s, Bushelman Construction, VIP and Avoca Park to capture the ASA Major Metro title at Rumpke Park.  Hall of Fame manager Don Schachleiter managed the team.  The 1990 season was the most successful for Young, as his Treb-de-Fox team won the prestigious Thoroughbred Classic National Invitational Memorial Day Weekend in Lexington, Ky. behind Hall of Fame pitcher Mark Huber.  Then in August, Treb-De-Fox defeated three former World champions – Bunca Car Wash of Michigan, Maroadi Transfer of Pittsburgh, and VIP Limousine of Cincinnati – en route to a runner-up finish in the Hudepohl Classic at Northside K of C.  Softball was a big part of Young’s life from 1954 through the ‘90’s, and he forged many life-long friendships through sponsoring teams and attending games.  Weber’s Café served it’s last cold beer and last hot mett in 2013 after serving the South Cumminsville area for 122 years.  Young says he has crossed paths with over 75 Hall of Fame members during the nearly thirty years he operated his bar.
