World Tournament Participation

The NHPA Officers approved a new World Participation Patch (Much like the Membership patch) to be awarded to those who have pitched in 10+,20+,30+,40+,50+,60+ World Tournaments. Lombard “Bart” Sargent from Massachusetts started compiling all NHPA World horseshoe pitchers from 1909 through 2003. His records were converted to an excel file for use on the NHPA website. Mel Yockstick and Jerry Smith added 2004 through 2020 along with new fields to enhance the records.
