This year the park hosted the Bronco Division Sectional
Tournament, featuring teams of eleven and twelve year-old boys from Long
Beach, Torrance, Pico Rivera, and Norwalk, as well as Santa Monica.
The park was festooned with bunting as for any important
baseball series, and shirtsleeve crowds watched a weekend of exciting
baseball.
