Marshall Trimble talks about 75th birthday of Arizona State Little League Baseball Tournaments.

 Leave it to Marshall to share the wonderful history of Arizona State Little League Baseball Tournaments.

"Route 66 is celebrating its 100th Anniversary in 2026. Another event, celebrating its 75th birthday is the Arizona State Little League Baseball Tournament. The first one was held in Prescott in July 1951.

The towns of Ash Fork, Williams and Seligman along Route 66 formed a league earlier that season and were invited to participate. I was one of the players selected. The other teams were the leagues in the Verde Valley, Winslow and Prescott. We were the Tri-City All Stars and were the underdogs but we made it to the championship game against heavily favored Prescott. It turned out to be a close game and Prescott held a 2-0 lead until the bottom of the last inning. With two outs, Tri-City had two runners on first and third. I was standing on first, another runner was on third and our cleanup hitter was coming to bat. If he hit one out we would be state champs But, like that fateful day Mudville, our Mighty Casey struck out."
