Brian O'Gara, who played Little League ball in Westbrook, is now a vice president for Major League Baseball.

Brian O’Gara saw the sign beside Route 25 welcoming motorists to Westbrook, home of the 2005 New England Little League champions, and felt a flash of emotion.
“It’s the same feeling every town in America has, I’m sure, when their Little League players win and go so far,” said O’Gara. “I haven’t lived in Westbrook for 30 years, but I felt that pride. It’s an accomplishment for your team and your community.

“What that team did is a signature moment of their lives.”

Peter Tetreault played professional and organized leagues for 3 decades, until in his 50s.  In 1907 he played for Fall River baseball team in NE League.  He shared a birthday with Babe Ruth and in the 1920s played an exhibition game in Portland with the immortal Ruth.  He was inducted into Maine’s Baseball Hall of Fame in 1975.

Born in Saccarappa in 1857 (there is discrepancy in his birth year and place, depending on which reference you read). He played for S.D. Warren paper mill team where he was known for his hitting…reportedly blasting a homer 450 feet.  He played for New England League and the New Bedford Whalers, batting .324.  He was offered $1,200 by the Chicago White Stocking, later the Cubs, but became the first holdout for more money. He asked for $2,500 but settled for $1,900.
​
In 1880 he lead the National League with a .360 average becoming 1st Mainer to ever win a batting championship. Set a League record by stealing 7 bases in one game. He was traded to New York Giants in 1887 and helped to win them pennants in ’88 & ‘89.  He was considered the Babe Ruth of his era.

Little did this team know that when they won the Telegram League and State Championship in 1951, that it would be FIFTY-THREE years before Westbrook would ever capture another such titile!

Below is the team information as it appeared in the Westbrook High School yearbook The Blue & White 1952:
The Westbrook High baseball season of 1951 was really successful. Our team captured the Telegram League and State Championship.

When we entered the final game with South Portland, we had a 12-3 record and were tied with the Capers for first place. We won the game 4-3 in ten innings behind Bill Cary, ace moundsman. The winning play turned out to be the "double-squeeze" which Coach Harlow had had the boys practicing all year.

This is a photo taken at the Warren League Ground, later named Fraser Field, on Stevens Avenue. The ball field is still in use but the home plate seen here, is today's right field and the bandstand is long gone.The grandstand had showers and locker rooms and backed up to the railroad tracks; railroad cars are visible in the background. Crowds of 1,000 often attended games and businesses sometimes closed for games.. 

This photo shows Mayor Eugene Cummings presenting honors to Harry Stanford, captain of the Westbrook High School 1925 baseball team which had won the Telegram League Championship. 
Baseball, the great American sport, has always been popular in Westbrook, with churches, schools, businesses and neighborhoods supporting the teams.
