PHOTOS: North Shore Little League Kicks off 50th Season

For 50 years now local kids have started their spring baseball season at North Shore Little League in Rocky Point and to mark this milestone, local politicians came out to celebrate on opening day along with hundreds of players.

From the littlest 6-year-old rookie T-ball players swinging the bat in the field for the first time to the teenaged major leaguers the field was crowded on Saturday morning as the league’s board, coaches and parents were joined by State Senator Ken LaValle, Brookhaven Town Supervisor Ed Romaine, Town Legislator Jane Bonner and newly elected Town Highway Superintendent Dan Losquadro all who said a few words to honor the occasion.

If you’re out there on the fields this season upload a picture of your kids and grandkids playing baseball at North Shore Little League to this post to help celebrate 50 years. If you have some old photos of kids playing at the North Shore Little League fields over the years we’d love to see those as well. Remember to put in the photo caption who is in the picture and identify the sports league or school team.
