51st Annual Rye Little League Parade

The 51st Annual Rye Little League Parade was held this past Saturday, April 2nd. Led by Rye Police Commissioner William Connors in his squad car and Rye Mayor Steve Otis, city council reps and board of education officials on foot, several hundred little leaguers, parents and coaches participated.

The parade left the Rye Metro North parking lot at 12 noon (see our video), wound its way down Purchase Street, then to Milton Avenue and finally arrived at Disbrow Park.

At Disbrow, there was a ringing rendition of the National Anthem (see our video), Rye City leadership and Rye Little League leadership was thanked and Mayor Otis and City Councilman Andy Ball threw out the first ceremonial pitches to kick-off the baseball season. Good luck to all the players in the 2008 season!
