Many cities name stadiums after famous dead people. Not Troy, New York, a city that knows who is buttering the bread.
Its new baseball stadium, located at the community college, is named after Joseph Bruno, the long-time State Senate majority leader.
Every state has one of these people -- a legislator who has been around forever and who knows how to deliver the bacon to the home district. Nice little park, at least.
This used to be a home of a New York-Penn League team. However, that league got destroyed by Major League Baseball's effort to cut expenses. The Tri-City Valley Cats play there now, a Frontier League team that is a chance for those outside of the minors' formal structure to make an impression. It's pretty good baseball.
