Got to briefly visit Kensico Cemetery during a trip to the East Coast National in White Plains.
I have been to other cemeteries to visit graves but I have never seen one with a tourist map and recorded tour. Kensico has color maps printed and famous graves are tagged with a metal sign. They even have a pre-recorded cellphone guide!
I was able to visit Gehrig's grave and the grave of New Yorker cartoonist Peter Arno. I understand Ruth is buried not far away from Kensico. Maybe next time.
There were baseballs and gloves left on Gehrig's grave but the most disturbing thing left behind was a Starting Lineup figure of Gehrig! Those damn plastic things haunt everyone!
