Note:
ASA of Metro Long Island was absorbed into ASA of Southern New York
in 1995, which is still in existence today. No information about their
Champions are available anywhere.
Note-2:
Vince Scamardella was appointed as the first Commissioner of ASA New York
State. Long Island Metro ASA was created by Vince in 1961. Dan Belcastro
(previously Metro New York City's ASA Commissioner from 1951-1961) was
appointed as the new Commissioner. He served for three years before leaving.
When Dan left, Charlie Boscia was appointed to serve as Commissioner.
Charlie held this position for five years. During his tenure, he appointed
Jim "Sonny" Carmen to serve as his deputy for Suffolk County. When Charlie
left in 1969, Sonny Carmen was named the new Metro Commissioner for Long
Island. Sonny Carmen served Long Island Metro ASA as it's commissioner for
more than 33 years before retiring his position in 1994. It was at this time
that Metro Long Island ASA was dissolved and became District 8 of Southern
New York ASA. Glen Payne, Southern New York Commissioner, appointed Bruce
Weinthal as Commissioner for District 8, Long Island. Bruce served in this
position until 2004. In November of 2004 Vin Donnelly became the new
Commissioner for District 8 and still holds that position. As dedicated to
Suffolk County, Long Island as Sonny Carmen was, Nassau County, Long Island
also had a legendary person named Ed Dressler who formed the Nassau County
Umpires Association in 1952 and was part of Long Island ASA Softball for
over 50 years.
