In the annals of PSSBL history, Ben Low is recognized as the founder of the organization, which has grown into the #1 largest adult baseball league in the USA.  Ben was recognized at the PSSBL’s December Election Meeting with the Founders Award, the first and only such award ever presented to a league member.

Ben has been a part of the PSSBL for 27 seasons and was a member of the PSSBL Hall of Fame Inaugural Class of 2011.  Most recently, he was GM/player for the Adirondack Division Bees from 2019-2025. In his first year as GM, the Bees were a woeful 1-17, but in 2024, Ben guided the team to its first division championship.

Now 1,200 members strong, the Puget Sound Senior Baseball League is recognized as the largest adult baseball organization in America.  Every PSSBL player, past and present, owes a debt of gratitude to Ben.
