The NY Parks Department informed me that a dedication will be taking place this Spring. Here are some very recent shots. Work appears to be totally complete.

Ladies/Gents, Our 2nd meeting of the year will be taking place on Thursday, April 10th, at 6:30PM at the Bergino Baseball Clubhouse. We will have 3 speakers that night. The first part of the program will have Helane and Jeffrey Rhodes speaking about their beloved father Dusty (James Lamar). They will share memorabilia and stories about #26. This is the 60th anniversary of Dusty’s clutch 2 home runs during the sweep of the Tribe, the Giants final World’s Championship in NY. The second part of the program will highlight Moe Resner and his video, The End of an Era which is a video of the last game the NY Giants played at the Polo Grounds in 1957. This should be a wonderful event. If you would be kind enough to email me your intentions please do so ASAP, so as Jay Goldberg can invite some of his people if there is room. Any questions regarding the clubhouse can be found here.
