Cops and Old Timers Play Ball for Jimmy Fund on Labor Day
This Labor Day is the 57th consecutive year of the annual charity contest between the Peabody Police Department and the North Shore Old Timers.
Peabody's finest will once again take the diamond at Emerson Park on Labor Day for a little charity baseball. And once again, players from the Lynnfield police will be joining their Peabody brethren.
The Old Timers lineup features Bill "Spaceman" Lee, Dennis "Oil Can" Boyd, Chris Howard, Rawly Eastwick, Kenny Ryan and Peabody's own Steve Lomasney and John Tudor.
The day begins with a baseball clinic for ages 8-12 from 8-10 a.m. with a focus on hitting, fielding, throwing and a skills competition. The clinic is followed by the game itself at 10 a.m. There will be food, raffles, face-painting, a moon bounce and a silent auction with various items.
