Retires as district head Frye leaves sport
Emory Frye, district II administrator since 1963, retires after 18 years. He watched a Middletown district game amid rain and water runoff, then helped with birth certificate issues before the call was made. Frye recalls starting in Brunswick in 1953, serving as player rep, league president, and finally district administrator since 1968. He notes changes in Little League, including girls’ participation and the shift to double elimination.
