ORIGINAL LITTLE LEAGUERS SOUGHT

If you can remember when Petaluma had just four Little League teams, and played games at McNear Park, and you were a player on one of those squads you?re invited to the 50-year celebration of Little League baseball in Petaluma.

Players and coaches from 1957 and 1958, the first year at the new Little League diamond at Kenilworth Park, are welcome to attend. Please bring memories, photographs, and copies of scrapbook stories from that era.
