Events
The Fort Lee Athletic Club Inc, which was established in 1910, was recently recognized by the Mayor & Council for initiating Little League Baseball in Fort Lee 70 years ago. William (Buck) Connell, Chairman of the Fort Lee Athletic Club Committee, was the leading force behind the endeavor and thanks to his vision and dedication the Fort Lee National League was formed in 1953. The four teams were sponsored by the FLAC, Babe’s Taxi, the Lions Club and Palisades Amusement Park. By 1966, the FLAC was sponsoring a total of 9 baseball teams. Games were played on a ballfield where the current municipal parking lot and garage now sit. Soon after the number of boys who wanted to play baseball was so overwhelming that a second league was formed, known as the Fort Lee American League. The FLAC sold their baseball field to the Borough of Fort Lee in 1959. The proceeds of the sale were used to sponsor numerous baseball endeavors in Fort Lee.
Accepting the Proclamation from Fort Lee Mayor & Council President Paul Yoon is Donald Balestri, current President of the Fort Lee Athletic Club.
The Fort Lee Athletic Club is committed to supporting and development of Fort Lee's youth, businesses, and community. The Club still sponsors various athletic teams and awards several scholarships each year to Fort Lee High School students.
