The game was organized on the excellent principle of shrinking the length of the game and size of the field to two-thirds of its adult proportions. It also brought in a crucial new rule--base runners could not take leads. Little League spread like wildfire after World War II, fueled by suburbanization, free time, and the convenience of the station wagon.
Cambridge joined the national organization in 1952 with five teams playing in one division. According to the Cambridge Chronicle, over 1700 kids--all boys--tried out for 75 roster slots! All the games that year were played at Granite St. The entire league budget for that first season was $1,000--underwritten entirely by the five sponsors.
