little league baseball wiki
it didn't even occur to us that it was history, at the time...
berkshire county blast to the past
i remember tom picard getting in s i 'faces in the crowd' for pitching a perfect game against the team that had 2 of the 3 first girls to be allowed to play williamstown little league that year, 1975, (angela beverly and tracey burdick with nancy getchell on another team) and who went on to be that year's town champs
pic was so fast that no one wanted to catch him so i had to be the catcher when he pitched
i almost died in an earlier game when pic hit tracey with his killer speed ball we were all terrified of and i thought she was going to start to cry but she threw the bat back to the dugout and trotted off to first
