On Saturday, April 3rd, Brooklyn Borough President Marty
Markowitz joined other elected officials, Little League officials
and players in the Prospect Park Little League Parade.
The annual
event started with a ceremonial ball toss that kicked off the
baseball season and was followed by a parade.
Prospect
Park has more than one dozen ball fields that are used by a
variety of athletic teams throughout the season. The Little
League Baseball games are coordinated by Prospect Park Baseball,
a partnership of the Prospect Park Alliance, the City of New
York Parks and Recreation Department and community members.
The organization represents more than 2,500 young baseball players.
