Rutherford Little League History: 1963


Officers

Managers


Once again, the League is forced to expand by one team in each league. Justin Realty becomes a National League sponsor, while Keller Engineering joins the American League. The season is shortened to 15 games.

Pastori Home Builders, an original sponsor, becomes the second in two seasons to drop its sponsorship. Pastori cites the completion of development of Rutherford. Gilio Music becomes a National League sponsor.

Jones Electric compiles the most dominant regular season to date, winning all but one game on the way to the town championship. Their only loss is by one run in their next-to-last regular-season game, against Springs. Along the way, 12-year-old hurler Tom McKenna tosses two straight no-hitters, and then pitches a third consecutive shutout in the game that clinches the league title.
