Better late than never was the case at the HWY 70 Sports Complex in Brownsville today at the annual Parks & Rec Spring Baseball/Softball Jamboree.

The event, which kicks off each year's county Babe Ruth and Cal Ripken Leagues, was originally scheduled for last Saturday but had to be postponed due to wet weather. Although games actually began earlier in the week, the celebration was held where two past league teams were honored, along with one special league player.

Scouts present colors from local troop 597.
The ceremonial first pitch was thrown by Gavyn Minyard, who was not only a member of the 2017 state finalist team, but also the regional winner of the Pitch, Hit, and Run Competition, held at Bowling Green Ballpark. After winning in Bowling Green where he competed against others from three different states, he advanced to Cincinnati's Great American Ballpark, the home of the Reds, where he competed nationally.

Andrea Brantley sang the National Anthem at today's ceremony where the colors were presented by scouts from local troop  597.

Parks and Rec Director John Kiernan said other than a few weather problems, the season has started well.

"We're happy to see another year of youth baseball and softball begin in Edmonson County," he said. "Our local league boards and everyone at Parks and Rec have really come together this year. Our fields are in as good of shape as they've ever been. These volunteers work hard to provide the best opportunities we can for our youth here in the county and we're looking forward to a great season."
