Blizzard Blasts Backstop

SOUTH AMBOY—The backstop at Veterans Field in South Amboy collapsed during the Feb. 10 snowstorm. The field is a landmark in South Amboy for being the starting point of the careers of five former Major League Baseball players. Allie Clark, Jack McKeon, John and Ed O’Brien and Tom Kelly all played high school baseball here before joining the professional ranks. Photo by Jamie Norek
