A WHOLE TENT-FULL OF FANS, FRIENDS, AND SPORTSWRITERS SHOWED UP TO APPLAUD WILMINGTON COUNCIL'S MOVE. MAYOR JAMES BAKER GOT A RESOUNDING ROUND OF APPLAUSE WHEN HE MADE THIS SUGGESTION:
"SOME DAY WE SHOULD CONSIDER NAMING THIS THE AL CARTWRIGHT STADIUM"
That would make a lot of sense, because the field is used by many local High
School teams, and Cartwright once said: "Every town has a high
school and that should be the backbone of news coverage."
The retired sportswriter and columnist stepped up
to the mike and did his best imitation of Sinatra, crooning, "When I
was 91, it was a very good year."
The Mayor also got off a good line, mentioning
Cartwright's broad influence, saying "You can't go into any restaurant
these days without seeing his old trademark "Ala Carte'"
THE NAME SAYS IT ALL - IT'S NOW CARTWRIGHT FIELD,AT BAYNARD STADIUM
