In January of 2011 the Twyman/Heat family
and the baseball world was dealt a blow when Chief Twyman suddenly passed away. Chief was a good man and did a lot for the community and baseball world. We lost aGreat Man, a loving father, a supportive General Manager, a teacher of life and baseball to 1000’s of young men that had the honor to play for him. He was a huge ambassador of the City of Havasu, City of Haysville, and the National Baseball Congress. Chief will be greatly missed.

BUT NEVER FORGOTTEN.

In 1993 Rick Twyman founded the Heat with hopes of building a competitive baseball team comprised of elite college-level athletes. Shortly after Ricks Father Chief jumped in 100% and assumed the roll of co-owner and General Manager.  Building a world class team didn’t take long at all. Chief and his son Rick and the Heat team had many accomplishments in the last 18 years including the 1996 US Open Championship, 8 Pacific Southwest League Championships, 1 Jayhawk League Championship, 8 National Baseball Congress Regional Championships, 8 top 10 finishes in the NBC World Series, 5 Sweet Six finishes in the NBC World Series and 3 “Most Popular Team in the Country” awards. The biggest accomplishment and award of all being the
2007 National Baseball Congress World Title which he was voted the manager of the year!
