What a day at the ballpark!!! Tony Clark, #7 for the Padres, stopped by for a visit and few words for the kids and parents of Lemon Grove Little League. Tony was given a banner by the League that will be displayed in the Majors outfield. Tony helped the League by handing out the trophies for last years 9/10 Allstar players and the TOC champions! It was a great day and the photos of that day are located in the "LGLL Albums" section, and here's a video clip of Tony's message to the kids along with LL Pledge/Allegiance.
