2011 BOWER CUP CHAMPIONS
On opening day in early May of 2003, Bangor East Little League awarded the first annual Bower Cup to Rotary for their first place finish the year before and then again in late July to Harleys for their victory in the championship game over ELCO. The Bower Cup reminds us all of the principles and ideals that Dave Bower brought to Little League on the eastside for so many years. Each year, although we have only one championship team, we hope all the players feel like winners!Bower Cup Champions 2002 Rotary - 2003 Harley - 2004 Rotary - 2005 Varneys - 2006 Webber - 2007 Millers- 2008 Millers - 2009 Rotary - 2010 Webber Click here for more information about the Bower Cup

Sweet Caroline - from Wikipedia: "It is also very popular at sporting events worldwide, particularly at Boston Red Sox games at Fenway Park. The tradition began when Amy Tobey, the club's musical coordinator at that time, started playing it in 1998 at the request of a Red Sox employee who had become a father to a girl named Caroline. She continued to play it (usually in the middle of the 8th inning) when the team was winning and she felt the Red Sox would win. In 2002, new owner John Henry requested it be played at every home game. The sing-along was made famous in the 2005 movie Fever Pitch." Recently Neil Diamond stated publicly that the song was about Caroline Kennedy.
