The dedication ceremony for the Woodhaven Cultural & Historical Society for Dexter Park -- 1911-1955, Home of Max Rosner's Bushwicks, 1st Night Game 7/23/30 -- Joe D, Casey, Jackie Robinson, Satchel Paige, Rizzuto, Greenburg, Gehrig, Ruth, Josh Gibson -- all played here.
You left Whitey Ford, NY Yankees pitcher, off the dedication placque. Ford played at Dexter Park when he was in the Army. He pitched and hit a triple. I was there with my father that day.

Thanks for posting this. Iwas living in the Bronx in 2000 so I missed this. I don't know anything about sports but this is interesting.
