Before opening ceremonies got underway at Griffith Ballpark on April 23, 2022, the return of Little League baseball to St. Thomas played out in the streets as teams, supporters, and community participants moved through town in an opening day parade. The parade added another layer to the first full season back after the COVID-19 pause, giving young players a visible public welcome as families and guests gathered for the start of the 2022 campaign. The street procession set the tone for a day that would continue with ceremonies and guest appearances tied to the long-awaited restart of youth baseball in the U.S. Virgin Islands.
