James Hughes

Jim Hughes’ beep baseball experience extends to well before the inception of the Bombers. He’s been playing since he was an undergraduate student at Binghamton University in 1991. But he quickly joined the team in 1997 with visions of quick success. The Bombers captain for 10 straight years, Jim has many on-field accomplishments. He has competed in five World Series (Chicago 2002; Houston 2005; Cleveland 2006; Minnesota 2007; and Houston 2008), earning a selection to the defensive all-star team twice. Closer to home, Jim was named to the defensive all-star team in the 2010 Beast of the East Tournament, which encompasses the Long Island Classic, the Philly Hall of Fame Classic and the Blind Citizens Beep Baseball Championship in Sudbury, MA. He was also the MVP of the Long Island Classic in 2009. Professionally, Jim has taught AP History at Farmingdale High School for more than 20 years.
