Closing Bell: Visit the Graves of Famous Baseball Players at Green-Wood

A baseball expert and Green-Wood’s resident historian will lead fans around the sprawling cemetery to the graves of baseball greats next Saturday.

Tom Gilbert of the Society for Baseball Research, along with historian Jeff Richman, will discuss the lives and monuments of Henry Chadwick, who invented the game’s scoring system; Charles Ebbets, owner of the Brooklyn Dodgers; and Charlie Smith, a well-known hitter who played for the Mets and the Yankees.

The tour will last from 1 to 3 pm on Saturday, March 29. Tickets are available on Green-Wood’s website.
