WATSONTOWN -- Little Leaguers celebrated a volunteer and mentor in Northumberland County by naming a field after him.
Jon McClintock has cerebral palsy and does everything he can to share his love of the game including keeping score, helping the coaches, and encouraging the players.
On the opening day for Warrior Run Little League on Saturday, a field was dedicated in his honor, complete with a new sign.
“It feels like a dream. I never expected it,” McClintock said.
“He just kinda gives the kids a different outlook on this, what it’s like for someone who can't come out and do it, and a lot of the kids come out with more appreciation,” said coach Cory Laubach.
Jon McClintock Field is located at Watsontown Elementary School in Northumberland County.
