After five years of refusing to talk about the past, Mark McGwire finally came clean.

In late August/early September, Dick Lawrence began planning an event in honor of the history of baseball in the Lyndonville community. Sunday, “Balls and Strikes” took place in the Lyndon Institute cafeteria for over two hours with over 40 community members in attendance to discuss and celebrate the long, elaborate history that is Lyndon Area Youth Baseball/Softball.
