Forty one years ago, an idea
came to mind to bring America's
past-time to Avalon.
With the help of many in the
community, sponsors were lined
up, coaches volunteered, equip-
ment was obtained along with a
field to play on. After many
hours of hard work, this idea
became a dream come true as the
Avalon Kid Baseball league was
born in 1959.
During these past 41 years,
thousands of kids have learned
to play baseball in this wonder-
ful program that was created. It
was also more than just playing
baseball. The kids were wel-
comed into a caring family
atmosphere that included at sea-
sons-end an overnight camping
trip to Ben Weston beach, Aval-
on Little League All-stars travel-
ing to the mainland for games,
beautiful trophies for the players
along with a trip to Dodger Sta-
dium.
We were taught the funda-
mentals of the game, we were
taught teamwork, respect for
each other and the game of base-
bali, along with honesty and
sportsmanship---win or lose--
