Monday League Dedicated to Randazzo Monday League Dedicated to Randazzo Monday League Dedicated to Randazzo
Monday League Dedicated to Randazzo There will be something missing from the Monday Night Men's Softball League in Norwalk this year. Thomas Randazzo, a long time league member, died in December at age 44. The Recreation and Department will dedicate the league in Randazzo's memory this year. "He was a big part of the team,'' said Recreation and Park athletic director Gerald Anastasia. "It's sad when somebody so young dies."

Opening Day Remains Special Opening Day Remains Special Opening Day Remains Special

"I still get goose bumps,'' says 64-year-old pitcher Doc Parsons, who plays for the Westport Cardinals in the Fairfield County Men's Senior Baseball League for players ages 28-year-old and up.

The players' sleep the night before was  a little more restless. Parents and players consumed breakfast a little more quickly. They arrived at the game earlier than th…

Cranbury Celebrates One Mo Time Dick Vicenzi carried the picture of his Cranbury Little League team from 30 years ago like a proud parent. And he was. That squad included his son, Stephen.
