In 1988, a simple Little League song about the kid in right field captured the pure, carefree magic of childhood and love of the game.

Fighterfighter Michael Cammarata lost his life at the age of 22 in the September 11th attacks.
In 1991, he played right field for the Staten Island team that made it to Williamsport.
His #11 is the only number retired by the Little League World Series.
Good morning. This is the statement from Special Prosecutor Hank Brennan on the Karen Read verdict:
“I am disappointed in the verdict and the fact that we could not achieve justice for John O’Keefe and his family. District Attorney Michael Morrissey appointed me, giving me full discretion to independently assess the case and follow the evidence no matter where it led. After an independent and thorough review of all the evidence, I concluded that the evidence led to one person, and only one person. Neither the closed federal investigation nor my independent review led me to identify any other possible suspect or person responsible for the death of John O’Keefe.
The campaign of intimidation and abuse that has been waged, funded, and promoted in public and on social media is the antithesis of justice. If this type of conduct becomes commonplace, it will threaten the integrity of our judicial system, affecting both victims and criminally accused.
We cannot condone witness abuse, causing participants to worry for their own safety or that of their families. It is my hope that with the verdict, the witnesses and their families will be left alone. The harassment of these innocent victims and family members is deplorable and should never happen again in a case in this Commonwealth.
My heartfelt condolences to the O’Keefe family and faith that over the coming years they will find peace and closure.”
