Malden hosts inaugural Bob Rotondi Goodwill Baseball Series

The Malden Babe Ruth Baseball League (BRL) this past week held the inaugural Bob Rotondi Goodwill Baseball Series, competing against Revere Babe Ruth, at Rotondi Field in Malden. Mayor Gary Christenson (center) was on hand for the event; Field Director Deano Summers (left) organized the event to honor the late Bob Rotondi, who passed away earlier this year at 85. Bob coached Little League and Babe Ruth baseball in Malden for over 70 years. Malden won the game the Mayor attended, 9-7, after dropping the first game. Deano Summers said he intends to make this a bigger, annual event with more teams, beginning in Summer 2025. (Courtesy Photo)
