Saturday morning was Opening Day at the Roger Becker Field for the Cobleskill Richmondville Little League with Jon Hertzler as the master of ceremony.  CRCS High School senior Michael Kauffman started the ceremony by singing the National Anthem. The Board of Directors and Committee Members were present at this morning’s events. A special thank you went out to the Cobleskill Exchange Club, Fam Funds, Sterling Insurance, Bank of Richmondville, Cobleskill Fairgrounds and countless others for all their continuing support of the Little League. The first Pitch was thrown by Jim Poole, a lifelong baseball fan and publisher of the Times Journal. Alex Hertcle was behind home plate as the catcher for the first pitch. This morning’s events were well attended with over 300 fans of baseball braving a little rain. With 20 Little League teams this year it should make for a great year of Baseball in Cobleskill and Richmondville for the season.
