The Annual Castle Hill Little League Parade from Castle Hill and Lafayette Avenues to the ball field on Zerega Avenue took place Saturday. Councilman Ruben Diaz Sr. was a prime sponsor of the parade and league itself. As the teams lined up to march many took their photo with Councilman Diaz Sr. as you see above with the Aquinas High School marching band, and below. The estimate of marchers by the 43rd Precinct was close to five-hundred people who marched up Castle Hill Avenue turning right on Newbold Avenue to Zerega Avenue where the field is located. There was a police escort to the field where Bronx Borough President threw out the first pitch of the day. Below are photos of the parade, and ceremony at the field.
