68 years had passed since Louis Nannini occupied the bench on the first base side of the baseball diamond at Manhasset High School, yet he felt right at home. The 92-year-old South Setauket resident, who last coached at Manhasset in 1941, was named an honorary coach and threw out the first ball during ceremonies to dedicate the school’s new turf field before the Indians’ 4-2 win over East Rockaway on Saturday May 9.
