The clang of aluminum bats and cheers from parents echoed across Penn Field in Oak Bluffs Saturday for opening day of the Martha’s Vineyard Little League season.
It begins with T-ball, a group of kids barely taller than a bat, their hats covering not just their heads but often most of their faces.
On Saturday, at the Little League championships, the Cubs beat the Pirates 5-0 for the Major League title and the Rays beat the Mets 8-4 for the Minor League title.
Little League opening day ceremonies began Saturday with a parade up Circuit avenue in Oak Bluffs. Then at fields around the Island T-ballers and major leaguers stepped up to the plate.
The Little League season truly began earlier this week, but the official opening day ceremony is this Saturday, April 29.
