Autograph and fan-access moments gave young players and families direct contact with visiting guests during the April 23, 2022 Little League opening day at Griffith Ballpark. Under the tent area and around the ceremony grounds, children posed for photos, collected signed items, and spent time with former UFC champion Tito Ortiz and MLB legends Andruw Jones and Tony Perez. The interactions added a personal community element to the return of Little League baseball in St. Thomas, turning the restart of the season into a day of recognition and memorable face-to-face moments for players back on the field after the pandemic pause.
