On Saturday, April 14th, the day before flooding in Rye swept the headlines, the Rye Little League celebrated its 50th anniversary with a parade starting just off Purchase Street and culminating at the baseball fields in Disbrow Park. The parade, lead by Police Commissioner Connors, Rye Fire Department fire engines, Little League head Brian Dempsey, Mayor Steve Otis and other local officials, exuded baseball, apple pie and everything good about spring, sportsmanship and small town America. Hats off to all the little league participants and best of luck in your 2007 little league season.
