David M. Breon
David Breon began his softball career at the age of 12 as the bat boy for “Standard Lime” men’s softball team in 1965. His intrigue with pitching led to his imitating pitchers and he practiced throwing against a concrete wall at his home. At 14, he was eligible to participate in “The Big Spring Fast Pitch Men’s Softball League” on a team “Valley Homes” managed by his uncle. David played for various men’s fast pitch teams and at 20, he was given the chance to be the main pitcher for a new team sponsored by “Marblehead Lime Co.” David then traveled to Mount Union, PA to play for Cutshall Construction, and completed his softball career by playing for Central Tank and Tower at the age of 46 when he won the only state title of his career in 1998. The team finished ninth in the ASA Nationals in Prescott, Arizona earning them a berth to 1999 ASA Nationals, however, due to an injury Dave was unable to participate in the national tournament and retired from the game as a player and instead shared his love and knowledge of fast pitch by working with pitchers at the high school level for many years. When Dave’s daughter, Kristi, was twelve years old he organized the first girl’s fast pitch travel team in his area called “The Bellefonte Belles”. The “Belles” placed 3rd in the ASA Mid-Atlantic Regional Tournament and qualified for the ASA National Tournament in Midland, TX where they finished 25th out of 75 teams. During David’s tenure as President of the Centre Region Girls’ Fast Pitch Softball League the league grew from 5 teams to 28 teams. David was appointed Deputy Youth Commissioner for District 8 and during that period he was involved in organizing the girl’s fast pitch program in Mifflin County. David stepped down as Deputy Youth Commissioner due to his heavy involvement in coaching at the high school level. David has coached ASA Girl’s Fast Pitch for 14 years, served as president for 2 ASA organizations for a total of 20 years and umpired ASA for 4 years. David says, “Softball is a disease….once it gets in your blood….you can’t get rid of it”!
