I'll be sure to let you know what I find out, specifically regarding the county with the most HOFers, but I'm really curious to know what they did with that monument too. I'm hoping it's now in the Dutchess County Sports Museum. Thanks guys.

When you stop to think of the number of professional athletes that come from my own area, I realize how few any area produces. To produce two baseball HOF players is indeed impressive. Great piece indeed. I too puzzle over the decisions re: the ballpark and monument. At least they could have built a mall or a convenience store!

Let me guess - maintaining the field did not fit in with the town's idea of fiscal responsibility. "...money - It always ends up making you blue as hell." Great piece Chas.

“…money – It always ends up making you blue as hell.”

Great piece Chas.

And for that matter, the ballpark? It doesn't look as if that land is being put to any use. Very strange, especially in a small town that would probably love to have such an honorable former citizen. Great write up, Chas. Wow – why would they take down Brouthers monument? And for that matter, the ballpark? It doesn’t look as if that land is being put to any use.
