Ceremony honors and community support take center field at Griffith Ballpark

Formal recognition moments at Griffith Ballpark helped define the April 23, 2022 return of Little League baseball to St. Thomas. Speakers and organizers used the opening ceremonies to thank the community partners, government support, and local families who helped bring youth baseball back after the COVID-19 pause. Presentations on the field, remarks from public officials, and ceremonial elements throughout the afternoon underscored that the restart of the season was more than a schedule change. It was a public show of support for young players returning to competition in the U.S. Virgin Islands.
