Brian D. Rosenthal Award

The Brian D. Rosenthal Award was established in 2000 by the Board of Lower Merion Little League (LMLL) to recognize the contributions of Brian D. Rosenthal, founder and former President of LMLL.  Brian, also a former Commissioner of Lower Merion Township, was instrumental in establishing our local affiliation with Little League International and has played an active and leadership role in addressing the youth baseball needs in our township.  Brian, along with others, was also a driving force behind the creation of Ashburn Field in Gladwyne.

Awarded annually since 2000, the Brian D. Rosenthal Award seeks to recognize an individual or organization that has significantly contributed to the continued growth and development of little league baseball in Lower Merion township.

LMLL Scholarship Award

The Board of Lower Merion Little League annually presents an academic scholarship to a resident of Lower Merion Township.  The purpose of the award is to acknowledge a former LM Little Leaguer who has continued to play baseball in high school or some other venue beyond little league (e.g. American Legion) and has also made a significant contribution to the Lower Merion community.  The Board invites the Athletic Directors at Lower Merion and Harriton High Schools, as well as from the private schools situated in the township, to nominate qualified students. The Board also invites members of the Lower Merion community to offer nominations. All nominations shall be submitted to the Board no later than February 15th of each year and the winner shall be introduced at the annual preseason Coaches Dinner, traditionally held in March, before the start of the Spring LMLL season. The winner receives a $1,000 scholarship toward his or her postsecondary education.
