WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. - They are men now, in their early 30s, some with kids of their own.

But in the memory of Jersey Shore baseball fans, they are perpetually a gaggle of preteen boys who played on the Toms River East American Little League team, and 20 years ago, they climbed to the top of the world.

The Toms River team staged a reunion here Sunday, celebrating their 1998 victory over Japan that made them Little League world champions.

One of the reunited players is Todd Frazier, who was in Williamsport for a business trip of sorts. He’s now a third baseman for the New York Mets, who played the Philadelphia Phillies Sunday night in the MLB Little League Classic.
