As signs of spring painstakingly take it's time arriving, one constant happens without fail, the Elmsford Little League's Annual Parade, kicking off the baseball season. This year would be a bit different as the kids lined up on North Stone Avenue.

| The band leads the parade. |
 |
| Grand Marshall NY Mets & NY Yankees star Darryl Strawberry, leads the procession of baseball players. |
 |
| Fire trucks make every parade official. |
Yes, more players and parents than ever before would be participating in the parade. Yes, the fire department with it's personnel on board and the shiny fire trucks would be at the end of the parade. Yes, they would all proceed down the side streets of Elmsford, onto Route 9A and into the Elmsford Little League Field. And yes, the Grand Marshall, former NY Met and NY Yankee Darryl Strawberry would smile and continually wave and greet fans and players. Yes, today everybody was a Darryl Strawberry fan. Yes, today everybody was a baseball fan. And yes, spring had finally sprung - at least enough to have one of the most fun, purely baseball, and purely child-like days in Elmsford. This was simply a nice day where everything fell into place. The police department and the highway department made sure of it. Thanks to everyone, especially to Darryl Strawberry, an honorary Elmsford Little Leaguer. Who's next?
