Meet Cecil L. Spittler, Photos and captions 12.15.22 final

(above) It has become a ritual with our team, whenever possible, to locate and visit the final resting place of our Hometown Hero. Cecil Spittler is buried at Clover Leaf Memorial Park in Woodbridge. We cleaned up around the edges of his marker, placed an American flag and said his name, along with a prayer. After learning about Cecil’s touch with greatness on the ballfield, I wish there was a way to let passersby know, that this was not only a brave soldier, but a NY Yankee pitcher as well. I’m going to work on that.
