Time to play ball! The Edinburg Parks and Recreation Department extends an invitation to the community to attend their 10th Annual Little League Opening Ceremony.
Many towns in the Lower Rio Grande Valley, by the 1920s, provided baseball teams who participated in organized semi-professional leagues.
After the day of infamy — Dec. 7, 1941 — there was a new “normal” imposed upon the United States people as the country reeled from the surprising and devastating attack by the Empire of Japan at Pearl Harbor.
The boys who played for the Monterrey Industrial Little League team in 1957 were so small, averaging 4-foot-11 and 80 pounds, that they could not wear the official Little League World Series uniform of the era.
For Texas Rangers’ fans, the good news is, the team is in the postseason mix, the first time since 2016. To win the American League West Division title, two things had to happen over the weekend: the Rangers had to beat the Mariners, or the Astros had to lose to the D-Backs. Neither happened, meaning, the Rangers are now in a three-game Wild Card Series against Tampa. Glad I’m an Astros fan.
