The Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»Optimist Club formed in 1953 and is known today as Trout Lake Little League.
Sixty years ago, the Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»Optimists wore this sunny, yellow jersey before and last weekend on April 2, players from that era threw commemorative pitches at the start of the organization’s one-of-a-kind wooden bat tournament, the Don Sheard tourney for 11- and 12-year-olds.
They became the East Van Optimists Club in 1958, and in 1982 changed its name to Trout Lake Little League. They have always played at John Hendry Park, near Trout Lake.
There have been various uniforms for the All-Star team that represents the club, but nothing goes hand-in-hand (hand-in-glove?) quite like a sunny optimist.Ìý
