Those were the days ... Forty years ago, Robert Iamurri of Naples, now famous for coaching softball and inducted in the Florida High School Athletic Association Hall of Fame, was a ballplayer himself. The 1971 Naples Little League All-Stars were, from left: Jerry Scott, Rudy Alzamora, Iamurri, Kenny Leiter and Ronnie Haines; second row: Willie Taylor, Mark Church, Gary Turner, Tim Poore and Mike Pike; third row: the late coach Roy Reim, Phil Osborne, Tim Muldrow, Jeff Stall, Jim Lytle and manager John Iamurri. The elder Iamurri is Robert Iamurri's father and helped start Little League in Naples. (Naples Daily News clipping courtesy of Mike Deason)
