Little League is back in swing after lost year
The 68th Precinct Youth Council Little League held its opening day ceremonies on Shore Road and 83rd Street April 17. It was a happy reunion for returning coaches and players who lost the 2020 season to the COVID-19 pandemic.
U.S. Rep. Nicole Malliotakis, State Sen. Andrew Gounardes and Councilmember Justin Brannan came to cheer as the kids took the field for the first time in two years.
League Commissioner Tommy Henderson called opening day his favorite holiday and said this one in particular was special for him and the players.
