Batter UP!

Saturday April 9th, 2011 Saw the Troopers from Garrison Carida celebrating opening day for the Little League of Chichester, PA. This was a great event for a number of reasons.

We have participated in this event in the past which makes a return trip extra special as we get to see old friends again. This year’s event also saw the debut of Garrison Carida’s very own Little League team. The Tampa Bay Rays, Sponsored by Garrison Carida!










 







Our Garrison is very proud to be the very first Garrison in the entire 501st Legion to have sponsored a little League team, and we are very grateful to Lucasfilm for allowing us to do this, as well as use our logo for the uniforms. They look great, and the kids who wear them LOVE them, but so do the kids who have to play against them too. We were told there was quite a competition amongst the teams for the Garrison’s sponsorship.













Darth Vader threw out the first pitch to start the season and reportedly threw a perfect strike. Never underestimate the power of the Dark Side! Our troopers posed for pics and played on the jungle gym, and even danced a little. A day that will long be remembered
