Williamsport, Pennsylvania–This week my wife and  I are here visiting Williamsport, Pennsylvania, and donating two pieces of memorabilia to the Little League World Series Museum: a copy of the book I wrote about our Lakewood, New Jersey team’s success, and one of the most treasured keepsakes from our championship season, the baseball that recorded the final out of the 1975 Little League World Series championship game. It was the same ball that was pitched and caught for the final out, securing our victory. After the game, every member of our championship team and our coaches signed it.

1975 LLWS  MEMORABILIA

A few years ago, this baseball was generously sent to me by a sports memorabilia collector who purchased it as a collectible.

For more than five decades, it has remained in someone’s private residence. I believe this remarkable piece of Little League history belongs where future generations of players, families, and fans can see it and appreciate what it represents: not just a championship, but teamwork, dedication, sportsmanship, and the dreams of a group of young boys from Lakewood, New Jersey.

As I walk the grounds at Williamsport, I am reconnecting with a special chapter of my life that helped shape the person I became. Donating this baseball is my way of giving back to the game that gave me so much and ensuring a small piece of our team’s story lives on for generations to come.

My teammates and I walked under Howard J. Lamade Stadium minutes after winning the 1975 LLWS.

Fifty-one years is a helluva long time, but some moments never grow old. The excitement, the pride, and the honor of being part of the 1975 Lakewood Little League World Series championship team are as meaningful today as they were that unforgettable summer.

When I place that baseball in the museum’s care, I won’t simply be donating a piece of memorabilia; I’ll be passing along a piece of history, one that represents a championship, a team, and memories that have lasted a lifetime.

In an even crazier twist of fate, Bayonne, New Jersey, qualified as one of the 20 teams playing in the 2026 LLWS. Over 6,500 teams entered the Little League World Series tournament this year.

In the history of LLWS tournament play, 21 teams from the state of New Jersey have qualified for the LLWS at Williamsport, and only 4 of those teams went on to win the LLWS.
