Opening Day for Wickford and North Kingstown American Little League a Huge Success
Amazing turnout for today’s Wickford and North Kingstown American Little League Opening Day Parade. Teams, coaches, volunteers, and families watched and cheered as the Wickford and North Kingstown Little Leagues marched together. Kids of all ages braved the chilly conditions as they marched from Wickford Middle School, through Wickford Village and ended up at Wilson Park. T-ball, Single A, AA, AAA, and Majors division teams lined up together. Presidents Arnie Sarazen and Todd Mascena said a few words to the crowd.
A plaque ceremony in honor of Ed Cooney followed comments by new North Kingstown High School baseball coach Tom Pacia. The Cooney family threw out the first pitch and the ceremonial “Play Ball” marks the offical start of the 2017 Wickford and North Kingstown American Little League season.
Great job by all the volunteers to get the fields ready and organize the Opening Day ceremonies. Special thanks to North Kingstown Town Councilman Kevin Maloney for walking with us. Thanks to the North Kingstown Fire Department and the North Kingstown Police Department for keeping the parade route safe. Looking forward to a great season of baseball here in North Kingstown.

The RIBBE is The Rhode Island Baseball Experience. It is promoting the game of baseball here in the great state of Rhode Island for the entire baseball world to see. The RIBBE is positive stories, photos, videos, and responsible social media posts. The RIBBE is an information resource for families looking for an AAU team or a summer camp or a great place to buy a first baseman’s mitt. The RIBBE is a network of coaches, tournament directors, parents, leagues, and baseball junkies whose passion of the game of baseball is unquestioned. I believe that providing expert analysis, information and directions to ballfields, and coaching advice from some of the top RI baseball minds will help promote the game of baseball here in RI to a whole new level.
