This year marks 70 years since 1955, the year Morrisville Borough’s Little Leaguers won the world championship; a tournament held in Williamsport, PA for players 10-12. That year, people got to see 88-year-old Cy Young threw out the first pitch, and Morrisville won an extra innings game when right fielder Rich Cominski led off the bottom of the seventh inning with the first walk-off, series-winning home run, according to Morrisville Little League officials A lot of history made that year.
Last year, the League also accomplished great things. Hopefully, Morrisville is destined to accomplish more great things creating memories that will last a lifetime.
