Yours Truly, back when my father was coaching Little League.
Despite being so young then, I nevertheless remember a lot from those days 60 years ago: many of the players (especially Steve Fox and Mike Okura), Cortez Park (I loved it when my dad would let me run the bases!), going to the State Tournament, and especially the parade at West Covina Plaza after the team returned home. The whole spectacle of it was very memorable, even to a little boy who was only just about to turn 3.
It's really quite astonishing to me how quickly the years have passed. And, of course, I feel saddened that my parents and so many of those young players are no longer with us. All the more reason why they deserve to be memorialized now...
