With over 350 Orinda children participating in the Spring and Fall leagues each year, it is estimated that more than 10,000 young players have participated in the OBA program since 1984. In recognition of the generations of Orindans whose lives have been enriched by what Hegarty started in the eighties, the baseball field at Del Ray Elementary school will henceforth be known as Bob Hegarty Field. |
