Only 10 days ago, he made two plate appearances in a Northern League All-Star game to become the oldest man to ever appear in a professional baseball game. It was kind of a stunt in which O’Neil was supposed to take walks, but in one at-bat, O’Neil actually swung at a pitch. He missed. But he was going for a hit. ’NEIL JOKED HIS WAY THROUGH the cere- monial first-pitch at Tuesday’s game, too. He Owalked out to the mound. He peered in towards Jake Eigsti, the Cyclones player set to take his delivery. O’Neil went into a wind-up, and then he put his hand over his eyes, miming that he could hardly see the catcher be- cause of the distance. O’Neil kept winding up, not throwing, and then mov- ing closer. When O’Neil finally cut short his last wind-up, and in- stead of throwing actually walked up to home plate and handed the ball to Eigsti, the crowd roared. Buck O’Neil conquered Keyspan Park.

E ARE A CITY OF SKYSCRAPERS. WE ARE A city of towers.” That’s what Empire State Develop- “W ment Corporation Chairman Charles Gargano said last week, casting Brooklyn as the new Manhattan — a vision for the borough that many longtime residents and the newer Manhat- tan exiles simply do not share. Gargano was talk- THE BROOKLYN ing specifically about By Gersh Bruce Ratner’s pro- ANGLE Kuntzman posed Atlantic Yards mega-developement — which would not be finished until 2016 at the earliest — but his dream of a skyscraper-filled Brooklyn is becoming a reality even before Ratner puts a spade in the ground. The Downtown Brooklyn Plan — an upzoning and condem- nation law passed two years ago — is finally bearing young with at least eight buildings on the drawing board for just a short stretch of Flatbush Avenue Extension from the Manhattan Bridge to Willoughby Street. Here are some details: • In April, developers Ron Hershco and Dean Palin broke ground at 303 Gold St. for a residential and retail tower — the first building within the Downtown plan. This fall, construction will begin on the 40-story building’s 35- story twin at 313 Gold St. (both are pictured near right). Taken together, the buildings represent a $400-million invest- ment that will add 517 luxury condos to attract more Gaphattan- ites to Brooklyn. • Thor Equities — the company that gave us plans for a Coney Island Xanadu — is in the preliminary phases of a 60-story tow- er called Albee Square West, which would rise near the Fulton Mall just west of Flatbush Avenue Extension (far right, top). A spokesman for the developer said only that the building would contain 1.4 million square feet of offices, residential units and retail. • Back on the east side of Flatbush, on Myrtle Avenue, Gristedes supermarket king John Catsimatidis is getting ready to break ground on his 400-foot tower, a building that would look quite at home on the new Upper West Side — which used to feel a lot like Thor Equities low-rise Brooklyn until developers went crazy (far right, bottom). Catsimatidis told The Brooklyn Papers that his building will be “combination residential, including some low-income units and dorm space for Long Island University, plus essential services.” “I’ve been a New Yorker all my life,” he said. “I want to make sure we have locksmiths and hardware stores and supermarkets and a place like Woolworth’s. Where have they all gone?” He called his million-square-foot building a “perfect place for the middle-class — just five minutes from Manhattan.” • Across the street, a company called BFC Development says it will build a 40-story, $200-million residential tower designed by the famous architectural firm, Skidmore Owings and Merrill. The company did not return calls from The Brooklyn Papers. • And just this week, a rendering of a new high-rise (inset) popped into our in baskets: Muss Development’s 32-story “One Brooklyn Plaza” tower at the intersection of Boerum Place, Ful- ton Street and Livingston Street (so long, Red Hook Lane, we hardly knew ye). The building would be entirely filled with offices — no resi- dential — with retail on the ground floor. Taken together, the corridor from the Manhattan Bridge to Ful- ton Street is really going to make people look up. “When we leave Brooklyn, we say, ‘Oy vey,’” Borough Presi- dent Markowitz said at the 303 Gold St. groundbreaking. “But now, when we enter Brooklyn from the Manhattan Bridge, we will say ‘Oh wow!’” If you like skyscrapers, that is.
