Local Grassroots Effort Hopes to Save Baseball for Future Generations
March3, 2022 Martin Wilbur

Everywhere you turn, a familiar lament from baseball fans has been the interminable length of games and lack of action on the field.

Over the past 10 to 20 years, strikeouts have soared and managers and Major League organizations too often rely on analytics to tell them what to do.

Yorktown resident Pat Geoghegan and former Croton-on-Hudson resident Kevin Gallagher are tired of complaining, so they’re taking matters into their own hands to save the game that they grew up playing and have enjoyed throughout their lives.

The two former college baseball standouts have partnered with former Major Leaguer Jeff Frye, an infielder mainly for Texas and Boston during a nine-year career in the 1990s, to start a social media campaign and petition drive to get the attention of baseball brass that the way the game is taught and played must change.
