A Bit of History
If you didn’t already know, Little Mountain Baseball is Canada’s oldest Little League,formed in 1951. Well into its sixth decade, and very proud of its heritage, this league is robust and stronger than ever,with over 500 boys and girls from the ages of 4-12 years old. It continues to be a vital and exceedingly well run community volunteer organization, and an important sporting landmark in the Mount Pleasant/Little Mountain neighbourhood.
