As a proud New Jersey resident Birthplace of Baseball happy to share some of the many towns here that celebrate their favorite sons who have prospered in Baseball's major leagues. Hall of Famer Joe Medwick is from about 5 miles away, Carteret NJ. there is a small memorial in Carteret park. Perth Amboy was home to the O'Brian brothers famous for their 1954 Topps card which the share, a sign in town commemorates this. My Favorite is in Paterson NJ home town to Lou Costello where downtown is a statue of him with Baseball garb with the words of Who's on first memorialized on the front.
I have visited Factoryville Pa and Keystone college on a day when the play a game of "Town Ball" and celebrate Christy Mathewson,lots of fun
