Yanks in Training

The Fordham Bedford little league season, featuring these excited young Yankees, started last Saturday morning with a parade down to the ball fields on Jerome Avenue near Walton High School.

Meanwhile, the Mosholu Montefiore Community Center Little League can’t get its kids on fields at Harris Park and Indian Field. MMCC Director Don Bluestone says they’ve been forced to cancel half their games because of “deplorable” field conditions. Bluestone blames the Parks Department. Parks blames the rain.
 

Welcome to the Norwood News, a bi-weekly community newspaper that primarily serves the northwest Bronx communities of Norwood, Bedford Park, Fordham and University Heights. Through our Breaking Bronx blog, we focus on news and information for those neighborhoods, but aim to cover as much Bronx-related news as possible. Founded in 1988 by Mosholu Preservation Corporation, a not-for-profit affiliate of Montefiore Medical Center, the Norwood News began as a monthly and grew to a bi-weekly in 1994. In September 2003 the paper expanded to cover University Heights and now covers all the neighborhoods of Community District 7. The Norwood News exists to foster communication among citizens and organizations and to be a tool for neighborhood development efforts. The Norwood News runs the Bronx Youth Journalism Heard, a journalism training program for Bronx high school students.
