In anticipation of having another terrific baseball season (2023) at both neighborhood parks, the North End Atlantic Association (NEAA) will conduct an opening-day ceremony on Saturday, April 29.

During the course of the day, all baseball programs will participate in the traditional start of the season including the Majors, Minors, T-ball and Instructional Clinic.

Beside the above programs, two baseball teams will be participating in an out-of-town league this summer.

Long time Little League coach Al Vilar will be recognized and presented an award for his commitment to the league throughout the years. Vilar will also toss out the traditional first pitch.

The NEAA is claiming the 2023 season will be the largest baseball program they have ever put together.
