Senior Boys of Summer Honored for World Series Season

Long Island's senior "boys of summer" were honored, Tuesday, at the Knights of Columbus hall on Hicksville Road in Plainedge for a World Series season. The Long Island Senior Softball Association (LISSA) paid tribute to its players - including those who went to the Softball World Series and World Championship.

Three teams from the LISSA - sponsored in part by Vytra Medicare - qualified for the Softball World Series in Irving, Texas and the championship in Utah. Managers Al Wallace of the 60-64 team, Marv Isaacson of the 65-69 team and Cosmo Andreoli of the over 70 team were all on hand for the awards luncheon.

The Long Island Senior Softball Association commenced its over-70 division at Cantiague Park in May. Nassau County Executive Tom Gulotta prepares to toss the first pitch with Angelo DeMeo (left), LISSA President Dan Wohl (right) and former Mets Manager Bud Harrelson.
