Hi Corbett

Hi Corbett was a Tucson native who is credited with helping to convince Bill Veeck to bring his Cleveland Indians to Southern Arizona for spring training, giving rise to the Cactus League.

Corbett was an amateur golfer who organized Tucson's first professional golf tournament, was President of the Texas Baseball League, and served his community in the Arizona State Senate. The ballpark that played host to the Indians and ultimately the expansion Colorado Rockies, Hi Corbett Field, was named for him in 1951.
