Roger Maris and a Cast of Hundreds by Gregory Rom - April 13 In this historical narrative, Gregory Rom describes the events in Major League Baseball in the years 1957 through 1968. This was a simpler time when there were fewer teams playing. The American and National League pennant pursuits seemed to unfold with more apparent drama over the course of the summer. In those years, the League pennant pursuits led directly to the World Series. Rom summarizes the key games and player performances of each World Series over the 12-year period. Rom skillfully interweaves historical baseball details into his narrative about the most successful players of the era. Sponsored by Brookdale Senior Services.

The playground improvements will include: • A new play equipment container • Engineered wood fiber to replace the existing sand beneath the play equipment • Resilient mats and ramps to make the playground accessible • A separate play area for tots and a large sand area • An assortment of climbing, spinning and balancing components, swings, a zip line and several slides. Trail improvements will include a new segment to create a loop trail and repairs to existing trail. The estimated cost of the playground and trails portion of the Northwood Park project is about $340,000, which will come from New Hope’s Park Infrastructure Fund.
