The year was 1950. A subway ride was 10 cents and so was a slice of pizza. Fresh milk in glass bottles was delivered to front doors that were rarely locked. One could navigate through the saw-dusted aisles in the supermarkets without knocking anything down. It was a time before hip-hop, doo-wop, disco, Beatles, Elvis and rock and roll.
It was before oldies. The NCAA basketball champion was City College. The new comic strip was Peanuts. No answering machines. No touch-tone. No cell phones. No zip codes. Nothing dot com. But in Inwood, there were 3 movie theaters, 3 bowling alleys, ice cream parlors, candy stores, egg creams, spaldeens and the Miramar outdoor salt-water pool.

We start taking registrations for the spring season in early January. The season begins in the first week of April with our annual Opening Day Parade and games. Often teams representing other leagues, such as, Michael Buscek, New Era, Harlem Youth, etc., play in the summer league. This gives our kids a chance to play against different players from around our city.
Showcase

The Inwood Baseball Showcase allows players to audition their skills for baseball recruiters at the college and professional level. We invite baseball players in the age ranges from 16 to 20 years old. Showcases give baseball players the opportunity to play at the college and professional levels. Most players have been fortunate to continue higher education and are able to seek additional degrees (eg.,M aster's & PHD degrees).
