Sitting down with my Grandfather talking about little league baseball and how I can improve my baseball playing ability, I found out during this conversation that day that I was talking to the BEST LITTLE LEAGUE BASEBALL PLAYER EVER! Yeah! My PapPap, he really is, he was and he will be until I develop my playing ability to the level that he played at when he was eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, and fifteen years old, I am ten years old right now, been playing baseball since I was seven. As he told me of a great little league baseball Era in the nineteen sixties right here in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania competitive little league and Pony league baseball being played at the highest level of play. He explained how he studied the great professional baseball players MR. Willie Mays” The Say Hey Kid” and MR. Roberto Clemente, playing his little league and Pony league games just like them out on the field every game. He told me that each season would start with the Little League Parade, as the teams would wear their uniforms and line up at STAGNOS BAKERY then march up to Paulson field, what an excitement for a young baseball player. This was a great Community Day! The team from the previous year will be playin` g today, the East End Cubs the team
