Jim Perry, the Old Rochester Youth Baseball League’s director of field management, throws the ceremonial first pitch to ORYBL president Mike Duarte on Opening Day, May 3, at Gifford Park in Rochester. Over the past five years, Perry has served on ORYBL’s Board of Directors. The Mattapoisett resident whose sons Ethan (now playing Babe Ruth League ball) and Noah (8-and-Under) participate, makes sure all 11 fields over five different sites across the tri-towns are properly maintained.
