From Councilwoman Monica Rodriguez Desk – We honor the North Valley Broncos from Pacoima

Today, we honor the North Valley Broncos from Pacoima – the FIRST all Black baseball team to make it to the Little League World Series in 1965. The North Valley Broncos started when four fathers got together to lease land to practice and formed a team. The team prevailed, making it all the way to the Little League World Series. I’m proud that our community of Pacoima holds this legacy as a reminder to young people growing up in Pacoima that they can surpass any obstacle to accomplish anything they set their mind to.
