The past and present exist side by side on this site.
I took a picture of this historical marker in 2023, shortly after it was erected. For many years a minor league baseball team (mainly affiliated with the New York Yankees) played here. The stadium was demolished in 1968 and a senior center (sign on the right of the marker) was built on the site.
If any of my readers are interested in baseball history,here is a list of players who later made it big in the major leagues or in broadcasting, including Whitey Ford and Ken Harrelson.

Wow, that is interesting. So many good things are just gone, nice they marked it at least.
ReplyDeleteThings are always changing.
ReplyDeleteSad that you lost the baseball field, but I'm sure the senior center gets more use. I hope you have a minor league team close by.
ReplyDeleteI was a big Whitey Ford fan back in the day when I first discovered baseball. He was a terrific pitcher.
