The North End Athletic Association honored former coach, umpire, director and president Phil Orlandella and former coach, umpire and current all-around volunteer Michael “Mikey Fud” Giannasoli at this years’ NEAA All-Star Game on Friday June 24th at Domenic Campochiaro Field at Langone Park Complex.
“These two gentleman have dedicated a good part of their adult life helping the youth of the North End not only in sports but more important sportsmanship, stated NEAA Coordinator John Romano. We are excited to extend this honor of naming an All-star team after each of these awesome men.”
The game was played under the lights with the NEAA Baseball Program showcasing its’ best players in the 9 to 12 year old age group. Coaches gave out metals to their teams and Richard Wells took the honor of “Rookie of the Year“. It was a fun night with free pizza, soft drinks, snacks and more with all of the league players and family members in attendance.
