BY SPECIAL REQUEST--FROM 1981, CROTON TIGERS ARE STATE CHAMPIONS

Welcome to Everything Croton, (while the New One is down) a collection of all things Croton--our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools, our houses of worship--in short, EVERYTHING CROTON.

In 1981, the Croton Tigers Baseball team won the state championship under legendary Coach Mel Giarolo. Your editor thought you might enjoy this blast from the past.

The article is also written by the late Lucio LaForgia whose memorial service will be held at Holy Name of Mary at 11 am on May 7th.
