Bob ‘Lobe’ Loeffler

A mainstay as the Browns manager for 29 seasons, he won 288 games. He played from 2006 to 2017 and amassed 74 extra base hits with sneaky power. Always there to share a laugh or provide some sage advice. Known to many as Coach, this is the ‘other’ Hall of Fame he is a member of, as he was inducted into the Northeast Ohio Baseball Coaches Association Hall of Fame as well. And he has a field named after him back home too in Ohio for his contributions to the school he taught and coached at! Kind, funny and loyal he never forgot his friends and looked out for the next generation as well.

Inducted into The Villages Division 3 Hall of Fame on April 14, 2025
