Dedicated to Fly Balls and Pop-ups

David Flanders was honored on July 5 in the dedication of the newly named Flanders Field on the Peaked Hill access road in Chilmark. David, who died on Thanksgiving Day in 2008, is generally recognized as the most monumental figure in the over-100-year history of the Sunday morning Chilmark softball game, and was well known for his monster home runs in games from the late 1940s into the early 1970s.
