Ralph Martignetti, Sr. Remembered at North End Athletic Association Baseball Opening Day

Opening Day is alway a special event for North End Athletic Association (NEAA) Baseball. On a sunny Saturday, there were multiple little league games at Langone Park along with a free family BBQ.

This year’s Opening Day ceremonies honored the memory of Ralph Martignetti Sr., father of Commissioner/Coach/Director Ralph Martignetti. Many members of the Martignetti family also came out for the event. Spring is finally here and it is time to Play Ball!
