Sunday afternoon was a good time for baseball — in this case, the East Altadena Little League’s Challenger team, the Angels, playing at Donley Field behind Webster School. The Challenger program lets special needs kids regardless of ability work with a personal coach (usually a teenage volunteer) on basic baseball skills, followed by a game where everyone gets a chance to hit and score. More after the jump.

The greatest game
Angel Tim Borquez delivers the pitch.
Rosie tries for second, rounds third, and heads for home.
The visiting team, the East Altadena All Stars, huddle on the field …
… as they graciously play the Washington Generals to the Challenger’s Harlem Globetrotters.
After the games, both teams gather to pose for photographs. All told, a great way to spend an afternoon, and cheers to the EALL All-Stars for making several kids’ day special.
