As
we
mentioned
latin
academy
and
dorchester,
two
neighborhood
rivals
out
of
the
neighborhood
of
dorchester,
who
has
such
a
rich
history
amongst
throughout
the
neighborhood.
They
have
different
parts
of
dorchester
and
one
part
of
deutsches
that
has
a
lot
of
rich
history
in
athletics
is
savan
hill.
They
have
a
fantastic
little
league
in
saving
hill,
but
this
past
spring
they
added
another
division
to
the
little
league
and
it's
a
very
special
story.
A
C
It
really
started
with
with
my
daughter
sophia,
who
is
eight
years
old,
has
down
syndrome
and
has
been
watching
her.
Three
older,
siblings
play
baseball
for
the
last.
You
know
eight
to
ten
years
and
this
year
she
came
home
and
said
I
want
to
play
baseball
and
her
brothers
actually
then
kind
of
looked
at
me
and
were
all
sitting
around
the
house
and
said
why
don't
we
start
a
challengers?
You
know
division.
C
Fortunately,
in
dorchester
we
have
the
infrastructure,
that's
that's
there
to
build
a
successful
program.
We
have
project
buying
the
boston
inclusion
network
with
disabilities
out
of
the
boys
and
girls
clubs,
which
would
help
source
children
who
would
be
able
to
be
in
the
challenges
division.
We
have
the
henderson
inclusion
elementary
school,
which
is
also
a
partner
of
ours
and
obviously
that's
just
a
tremendous
resource
for
identifying
potential
players
for
the
challengers
division.
We're.
D
C
Last
partnership
was
project
deep,
the
dorchester
educational
enrichment
program,
where
we
were
able
to
tap
into
middle
school
and
high
school
kids,
who
would
be
buddies
and
help
out.
So
when
you
take
all
of
those
different
collaborations
and
you
put
them
together,
you
can
then
form
a
league,
but
perhaps.
B
My
wife
and
I
started
the
martin
richard
charitable
foundation,
whose
mission
is
to
support
martin's
message
of
no
more
hurting
people.
Peace
through
education,
athletics
and
community
and
brendan
had
the
idea
to
create
a
challenger's
division,
the
first
of
its
kind
in
boston
and
when
he
brought
the
idea
to
to
us,
we
it
was.
It
was
a
natural
fit.

The
saving
hill
little
league
challenger
division
has
accomplished
many
goals
in
its
first
year
of
existence.
The
league's
mission
of
providing
every
child
the
opportunity
to
play
baseball
is
far
from
complete,
with
such
phenomenal
support
from
the
martin
richard
charitable
foundation
and
the
dorchester
community.
