Buzcek Ballpark Honors A Team Player

Nearly 20 years ago, NYPD Officer Michael Buzcek was slain in Washington Heights in upper Manhattan. Drug dealers gunned him down during the crack crackdown of the era. In his honor, a new little league baseball field was recently dedicated in Highbridge Park. It’s fitting that a man who lost his life protecting our children from drugs is honored in this manner. It’s a fitting reminder too that we should each, in some way, contribute to the healthy growth of all of New York City’s children. As New Yorkers, we’re truly all on the same team.
