Thomas has been a staple as a coach in various roles throughout his career. His coaching career was memorable, alongside some greats.
"This is special for a lot of reasons, especially because the legacy of the guys I coached with," said Thomas. "It started with my dad and my little brother. At best, I'm the third best coach in the family. It is a pretty good legacy there. Coaching with Sam (Zambanini) at Conemaugh Township and the history of the program is special. This group of guys and what they do in the community is fantastic."
Ryan played at Meyersdale and has been a coach at nearly every level. He is also an umpire as well. The hall of fame induction is just the cherry on top for a guy who truly loves the game of baseball.
"I really appreciate this and everything the old-timers do for the game of baseball," Ryan said. "It is so nice to see people, tell stories and reflect on what we've done our whole lives."
