Saturday was opening day for Morgan City youth league weeball, T-ball and softball players.
The opening ceremonies drew hundreds to Complex Park for the first day of play in the rapidly expanding leagues. Morgan City Mayor Lee Dragna took the first swing at a teed-up ball, accompanied by Councilmen Lou Tamporello and Steve Domangue, to open the season officially.
The teams in all four leagues played short games to give every player a chance to bat.
Garber Brothers sponsored all 10 weeball teams this year.
The T-ball teams are Blanchard Family Properties, Candy Fleet, A.J. Dohmann, Peace Candles, Tiger Island, Landry's Legal, LAD Services and Wildflower Boutique.
Teams will compete in two softball leagues.
The Rookie League teams are Courville's Seafood, M C Bank, Candy Fleet, Cannata's, Gary Driskell for Sheriff, Cajun Sneaux and Wildflower Boutique.
In the Minor League, the teams Grizzaffi's, Guidry & Horaist Orthodontics, and All American Lawn Care and Drain Cleaning.
The opening ceremonies for the older baseball leagues was last month.
