What a way to kick off the ALLBB season! Opening Day this past Saturday was a huge success, with sunshine, great baseball, and a warm community atmosphere from start to finish. Families, players, and coaches came together to celebrate the start of another exciting season of youth baseball in Berlin.

We couldn’t have asked for better weather. With clear skies and spring warmth, it was the perfect setting for baseball. The day started with a memorable opening ceremony that set the tone. Kenny Norgren brought energy to the field with a powerful electric guitar rendition of the U.S. national anthem, followed by a heartfelt and beautifully sung German anthem by George Friedrich Takis. Longtime heart of the league Gregg Norgren had the honor of throwing out the ceremonial first pitch to get things started.

 

 

 

 

The action on the field didn’t disappoint. All six of our league teams hit the diamond throughout the day, competing in three exciting games that kept fans on their feet. From big hits to great defensive plays, it was clear that the players were ready to go after a long off-season.

Thanks to all the families who came out to support the players and helped make the day special. Whether you were cheering from the bleachers, volunteering at the field, or just soaking in the sun with a coffee in hand, your presence made a difference.

If your child is still interested in joining, it’s not too late! Our Toss Ball league (ages 6–7) and Minor Leagues (ages 8–12) are still accepting players of all skill levels. Come join the fun — we’d love to see you on the field!
