The Malden Youth Baseball League kicked off its 2024 season with a traditional parade of all its players, coaches and parents. They carried their team and league banners and marched north on Malden Street from Bruce Field at Devir Park, then west on Highland Avenue and finally south on Emerald Street back to Bruce Field. Over 300 took part in the parade this year, which took a break from the calendar during the post-pandemic years.
Participating also was Mayor Gary Christenson, who threw out the first pitch at Bruce Field, City Council President Steve Winslow (Ward 6), Councillor-at-Large Craig Spadafora, Ward 2 Councillor Paul Condon, Ward 8 Councillor Jadeane Sica and Ward 2 School Committee Member Robert McCarthy, Jr.
