For both Haverstraw legislators – Grant and Hood, the teams’ experiences were personal. Legislator Grant’s daughter played on three Haverstraw teams that competed in the New York State championships, while one of Legislator Hood’s sons played in the league this year, as he did in his youth.

“The connections to Haverstraw Little League are so strong for me, growing up in Haverstraw and playing in the league,” Legislator Hood said. “I was definitely not an all-star. It was so impressive to see your skills on the field and how far both teams went. It’s hard to put into words how proud we are of you.”
