Ted Abrain began a fifteen-year relationship with Little League/Boys League Baseball when he coached the Mets farm team in 1975. 

For the next three years he served as the Mets Majors manager (while also managing the twelve-year-old All Stars) before managing the Babe Ruth Championship Bristol County Lions nine for another three years.

Meanwhile, in 1978 Ted became President of the Babe Ruth League and after two years in that post, served the next ten years as President of the Warren Little League.  During his reign, T-Ball and girls softball were started, the pitching machine was introduced to the B-Ball division, and Little League adopted the thirteen to fifteen-year-old players who had been part of Babe Ruth Baseball.

At the league’s banquet following the 1989 season, Ted was honored by the players, coaches, and other volunteers of the league’s thirty-two teams for his exemplary service.

He was the President of the Sunday Night Couples Bowling League from 1982 to 1992 and the President/Treasurer of the Drainville Memorial Men’s Bowling League from 1997 to 2008. 

Earlier in his bowling career he had been the captain of the Knights of Columbus team.

Ted also has been the statistics manager of the East Bay Couples Golf League since 2002.
