Looks like the greenwood elementary school I used to ride my bike to with my friend to play baseball. (Football to) we’d ride our bikes from 12 and greater Mack to play ball with my cousin and his friends cause the greenwood area always had enough for 2 full teams. The outfield fence would have you drooling every time you stepped to the plate. Love the snow covered roofs and I sure miss the smell of the air of those early spring practices. You always knew when it was baseBall time. Jeff

I don't have any photos of myself from Little League, unfortunately - but have had a wonderful time coaching my son's teams for several years now. We just completed a run at the 10U level, to the MA state championship, where we lost a tough game.

This group of kids is super excited for what might come in the next couple of years - as they dream of competing on the bigger stage and making it to Williamsport as 12 year olds. Even though the numbers may be dwindling a bit, baseball definitely is still alive and going strong for many kids out there.

(I'm the taller coach in the back. My son is the one with the long hair, right in front of me.)

Great thread. Makes me wish I had access to my Little League and Babe Ruth League photos and memorabilia. Probably all buried 10 boxes deep in storage at my parents house somewhere.

Seems like every league has their own "glory days" coach who still prefers to suit up to coach their young kids' games.

Not exactly Little League but rather store bought baseball outfits for kids. The year is 1957, the location a GI Bill tract in the boonies of New Rochelle. From left to right are the Kates boys, me geeking out, my brother Dan striking a baseball card pose a la Christy Mathewson, and my sister Kini, unclear on the concept, indicating the extra point is good.

We won it all in 1965! That’s me with the glasses front row.
