Mike "Daddy" Hatfield could be seen for years scouting opposing pitchers from his Hilltopper Red dugout chair between at bats. But with the "Great Semi-Pro Merger" of the Cobalts and Toppers in 2006, Daddy Hat realized red would clash with his new stylish athletic gold uniform.
So, the rest is history - Cobalt Blue is now the color of Mike's dugout perch and it didn't hurt. Daddy Hat hit .400 and lead the Championship Cobalts in RBIs in 2006.

After much swirling speculation among the Semi Pro beat writers here in the Queen City, the Cobalts have decided to NOT retire the franchise after their Triple Crown Season. The decision came during the Roy Hobbs Banquet that provided the Cobalt Lounge with more hardware - their second straight RH Championship Plaque.
"There's just too much gas in the tank" said one Cobalt while eating his 4th plate of nachos and 6th draft beverage. Whatever the cause, the Cobalts will take the field in 2007 and defend their championship.
So it goes..."Blackjack!" said Scrote. We'll be Back for Season #21.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to All Cobalt Fans

Taking the field for the 9th time in 6 days, the Cobalts spotted Pittsburgh an eight run early lead and couldn't come back, finally falling 11-6 in the Semi Final Championship Game.
Cobalts limped into this one with blown hammies, quads, calfs, roto-cuffs, and a bit short-handed but never gave up.
Brian Akers once again lead the offense and his .435 Tournament Batting Average won him the Team's MVP Award...Akes, as usual, left it all out on the field and played almost all 81 innings in center field.
Thanks to all Cobalts for a great run and fun trip to our seventh World Series.appreciate everyone's committment to the cause!
