Oradell Little League's Opening Day was a Monster Success!

Opening Day for Oradell Little League was a huge success. We had well decorated fields, and there were a lot of excited players, parents and coaches who got together to celebrate on a gorgeous day in our town. April 18th was a big day, and family and friends came out to support not only the games, but the entertainment as well.

An idea was floated back in March to make this Opening Day different. We wanted bring more people out to the fields and we even brought in live entertainment to Muehleck for the American League match-ups. We hosted the River Edge Orioles in a game against Butzel, Karadimas, Carrabba & Testin. Something that has never been done before on Opening Day. We even opened 2 games with some truly talented musicians, both 7th graders, who came back to the Little League program to share some unique talent.

Greyson Ebneter sang the National Anthem before Game 1 between Oddo Law and Jay’s Pharmacy. Before Game 2, James Crismale played his own rendition of the National Anthem on electric guitar. A terrific game between Big Jim’s and Fenner & Esler followed. The performances were epic.

Oradell rallied, supporting what Little League should be about; Volunteerism, teaching, teamwork, confidence and community. There were terrific games all over the area, from Grant field, to Memorial field, to Hoffman field, to Muehleck. Many thanks to everyone who came out to help make it a huge success.

And once again, a special thanks to Greyson Ebneter, James Crismale and the River Edge Orioles for helping celebrate Opening Day with the American League teams at Muehleck.

The baseball season is here! Let’s play ball!
