Guest speakers welcome players back as Little League resumes at Griffith Ballpark

Public officials and visiting guests took turns on the microphone as Little League baseball returned to Griffith Ballpark on April 23, 2022. Remarks from Andre Ferguson, former Sports, Parks and Recreation Commissioner Calvert White, and former UFC champion Tito Ortiz framed the day as more than an opening ceremony. The speeches underscored the community effort behind restoring youth baseball in St. Thomas after the pandemic pause, while teams stood lined up on the field waiting for the season to begin.
