Once again, the East Altadena Challengers finish the season with a perfect score, 34-0; With 20 team members and 24 coaches, the Challengers’ strategy included blanketing the diamond with fielders when the other team was at bat; Challenger Rosie comes in to score.

The East Altadena Little League’s Challenger Angels team — a team for children with special needs — held its big game Sunday against EALL’s senior Angels team.  As every year, the seniors apparently lost all ability to play baseball, meaning the Challengers had a chance to hit, run, score, and field and feel the sweet feeling of victory.

Special thanks to the senior Angels for ensuring the little ones had a good time, and to all the coaches who commited their spring afternoons to teaching and being mentors to these children.  Wait ’til next year.
