Baseball: Stroh field dedication is called off

Hold off on the talk how well-run charter schools supposedly are and that they don’t have red-tape problems.

Granada Hills Charter was supposed to name its baseball field after former coach Darryl Stroh in a ceremony Saturday. That’s not going to happen. A school committee has decided proper procedures weren’t followed.

So Stroh, who lives in Arizona, will be in town to honor his 1978 City Championship team on Saturday during the alumni game, but the field dedication ceremony is off. A sign purchased by baseball Coach Josh Lienhard will remain unhung until someone convinces a school committee to get its act together.

What a blunder and embarrassment.
