Volunteers Prepare for League Opener

STAMFORD — The damp cold weather last weekend did not deter families of the Catskill Mountain Little League from prepping their facility for opening day festivities slated for Saturday, April 26. More than a dozen individuals with children in the League joined members of the CMLL Board to hang netting, assemble new dugout benches, and install wind screens.

Eklund Farm Machinery donated a lift for the day to help the crew. With support from Robinson Broadhurst Foundation, the League was able to make some additions that weren’t a factor in the original field construction completed last year.

Opening Day festivities are slated to begin with a ballplayers parade at 11am followed by a day of softball and baseball on both fields. The League has registered over 190 boys and girls in 6 divisions from tee ball to majors in baseball and softball. The League is also still accepting registrations for its first ever Junior Baseball division for 12-14 year olds and Senior Softball division for 13-16 year olds, both of those seasons start at the end of June with registration open until May 15 at the League website. 

Organizers are still accepting donations for completion of the field house and concessions building through their “buy-a-brick” campaign at
