UTICA -- Players competing in the New York State
American Legion Baseball Championship Tournament (July 31-Aug. 5) took time to
visit nursing home veterans.
Before heading out to the diamond, the players joined
residents at St. Luke's Home in an ice cream social on July 31, WKTV News
Channel 2 reported.
"It's going down memory lane for them," Therapeutic
Recreation Specialist Tom Thorngren told WKTV reporter Nicole Pitt.
"Talking about their favorite teams and actually talking about their
service with the armed forces is also a great thing for them to
reminisce."
The tournament is at Murnane Field in Utica.
