Ridgites headed to the newly redone ball fi eld at McKinley Park on April 7 to step up to the plate and play the fi eld for the fi rst time ever. The fi eld, at 76th Street and Fort Hamil- ton Parkway, will serve as the new home turf for the Little Leaguers of St. Anselm’s Youth Baseball and Softball programs, and the school’s baseball commissioner said the fi rst hit should be a good omen for all of the games to come. “The fi rst game ever on the fi eld, the fi rst plate appearance, was a home run,” said Ridg- ite Christopher Auletti, whose son CJ knocked the fi rst pitch far enough to take a full lap around the bases. The school’s baseball team played three games — one against Our Lady of Angels, which it won 16–4, and two against itself, since the cold weather proved to be too much for many of the other 40 teams from public and grade, plus teams from the other schools in private schools in the league, according to Au- the league.
