Not only did they shelve the project, but slashed $20,000 from the city’s tree-trimming budget.

No, she said, in Huron, Ohio, at the city’s new Athletic Hall of Fame. You may remember Paul Doyle of Huntington Beach. He was 3-0 as a lefty reliever before his arm blew in 1972. He’s now in auto parts in Huntington Beach, and his family is still very much into baseball. “We’re all excited about this,” says son Craig.
