Yes, remember the name Brewers’ Best Premium Beer. Once you try it, you’ll ask for it again and again. For Brewers’ Best is truly a high quality, distinctive beer— with light, clean appetizing flavor. Brewers’ Best Premium Beer, represents a great stride forward in American brewing because it is brewed and bottled by a country-wide group of carefully selected prominent brewers whose combined experience and resources have produced a superior premium beer. Remember the name Brewers’ Best.

  • List of New York's Baseball Sites
    LIST OF NEW YORK’S BASEBALL SITES Major League Stadiums and related sites The New York metropolitan area is the scene of some of the most legendary events and home of the greatest figures in baseball history. From the first recorded baseball game at Elysian Fields in 1846, New York has been the “Capitol of Baseball” for 171 years. New York’s baseball history is written in many places – legendary stadiums, distinctive hotels, ordinary homes. Some of these sites are well-marked and internationally- known – others are marked with small plaques, tiny reminders, or even nothing at all. But every one of these sites listed played a major role in the history of baseball, is worth a visit, and deserves to be known and remembered. Enjoy! 1. Yankee Stadium (161st Street and River Avenue, The Bronx) Accessible by the No. 4, D, and B trains from Manhattan. The new Yankee Stadium, opened in April 2009. Costing $2.3 billion, it stands one block north of the original, on the 24-acre former site of Macombs Dam Park, and incorporates reproductions of many features from the original Yankee Stadium across the street, including the frieze, the Indiana limestone exterior, hand-operated scoreboards, the section numbering, and the unusually-shaped outfield dimensions. New features include a museum of Yankee history that displays Thurman Munson’s locker, a Great Hall on 161st Street, and an accessible Monument Park. Home plate was brought from the original Stadium, and Yankee relief pitcher and future Hall of Famer requested that the team reposition the home bullpen and provide it with a door to link it with Monument Park.

  • Judson Health Center, 1920-1950
    Judson Health Center, 1920-1950 n 1951, Mayor Vincent R. Impellitteri of New York presented Dr. Eleanor A. Campbell with a testimonial scroll honoring her thirty years of service as the general director and co-founder of the Judson Health Center. In these thirty years, the center had logged in one million visits, both at the clinic and in people's homes, a phe- nomenal accomplishment considering the Center's humble begin- mngs. In 1920 Judson's minister, the Rev. Dr. A. Ray Petty, had invited Dr. Eleanor A. Campbell to start a clinic at Judson Memorial Church to serve the Italian immigrant population just south of the church. Dr. Campbell was a recent graduate of the Boston University School of Medicine. He had heard that she was planning to get in- volved in a public health program, and he wanted her in his district. Dr. Campbell later recalled that the Rev. Petty had said: "I just can- not stand the crooked legs of the children down here." 1 The Rev. Petty was keenly aware of the health conditions and the lack of health care services in his neighborhood. He had already been working with the New York Association for Improving the Condition of the Poor (AICP) to establish a Baby Health Station at 114 Thompson Street.2 The Department of Hygiene was sponsoring 1.
