Event Honors Wappingers Baseball Giant | through April 30
To celebrate the return of baseball season, the Wappingers Historical Society is currently hosting a free online program about local legend and Baseball Hall of Famer Dennis “Big Dan” Brouthers through April 30. Called the “Terror of all Pitchers,” the 19th-century slugger led the league in batting average five times, the most by a 19th-century player, and his career .342 batting average still ranks ninth all-time. The virtual presentation, which can be viewed at the society’s website, features special video interviews with Brouthers biographer Roy Kerr and WHS member Rena Corey, who discusses growing up in Brooklyn during the heyday of the Brooklyn Dodgers.
