Patriots’ Day has been a special day for years on the regular season high school calendar with most of the games played in the morning, right about the same time as the Boston Marathon. Of the 200 games scheduled for Monday, less than 10 percent of them – only 18 – ended up getting played! One of them was the Greater Boston League matchup between the host Malden High School Golden Tornados and the visiting Revere High PatriAmerican Exterior and Window Corporation Contact us for all of your home improvement projects and necessities Telephone: 617-699-1782 Toll Free: 1-888-744-1756 Email: info@americanexteriorandwindow.com Windows, Siding, Roofing, Carpentry & More!

No Money Down. ots. It was never ‘Off’... but the Malden-Revere HS baseball game on Patriots’ Day took a lot of work (and communication) to get the players on the field playing. For roughly five hours, off-and-on, Malden and Revere athletic directors and coaches kept tabs on the weather, field conditions and numerous other factors (bus times, umpires’ availability) and even the game time, which ended up staying the same: 4:00 p.m. The game ended up being somewhat of a pitcher’s duel with Revere’s Kyle Cummings, a senior, battling against Malden’s Jake Simpson, a junior. Cummings ended up pitching the best game of his three-year varsity career, scattering three hits, walking just two and striking out a career single-game high of 13 batters. Simpson threw zeroes through the first three complete innings, but a couple of untimely errors cost Malden some unearned runs. Revere won the game, 5-0, but it was still highly valuable to both teams – win, lose or draw (but you can’t “tie” in baseball – as they both avoided the spectre of “The Makeup Game.” Somewhere down the road when teams are rescheduling the game 91% of them in Mass. did not play on Monday, at least two of them will be recalling why their schedule is not as jampacked as their future opponents’ may be down the road. **** Revere pitcher threw a gem... just a stone’s throw away from where his late Dad grew up in Malden There was an additional Malden connection in the Revere-Malden baseball game on Patriots’ Day Monday. The game was played at Rotondi Field in Malden instead of the usual Malden home field of Pine Banks Park. The park is just a couple of streets away from where the late father of the ReOBITUARIES Jane E. (Adams) Bailey A longtime resident of Malden, passed away on Thursday, April 20th, with her loving family by her side. Jane was born in Washington, DC, in 1927, the daughter of George and Cora Adams. She was raised and educated in DC. In 1948, she married her sweetheart, William Bailey Sr. and the two settled down to raise their family. They moved to Everett before finally settling in Malden. Jane moved back to Washington D.C. for a short time, before returning to Malden 30 years ago. For many years she worked as a seamstress. She enjoyed sewing and it was a regular hobby at home as well. Jane also enjoyed working on puzzles, dancing, watching baseball, and going to the casino. She especially loved to watch her son sing in his church choir and was blessed to see him perform just this past Sunday. She is survived by her children, Althea Harvey of Malden, William Bailey Jr. (Charlesetta) of Clinton, MD, and Janice Avant (Herb) of Malden, her grandchildren Joy E. Bailey, Donnell Bailey Sr, of Malden, William Bailey III, and Keenan Bailey of VA, as well as 12 great-grandchildren and 13 great-great-grandchildren. Jane was preceded in death by her husband, William Bailey Sr, her siblings, Alice, Clara, and Melvin, and two grandchildren, Deon Bailey and Michael Lewis. Funeral services will be held at the Weir-MacCuish Golden Rule Funeral Home, 144 Salem St, Malden on Monday, May 1st at 10 AM, with visitation beginning at 9 AM. Interment to follow in Forest Dale Cemetery, Malden. Paul C. Hunt Sr. A lifelong resident of Malden, passed away on Monday, April 24, 2023, after a short stay in the Elmhurst Healthcare Facility in Melrose. Paul was born in East Boston in 1936, the son of John and Edith Hunt. He was raised and educated in Malden, graduating from Malden High School with the Class of 1954. He then enlisted in the US Air Force. He served honorably for four years, including a 1-year stay at Iraklion Air Station on the Greek island of Crete, and was discharged in 1959. After the Air Force, Paul began working at Malden Jewelry while attending Bentley College at night. After earning his associate degree, Paul took employment with Monarch Consolidated Foods in Everett. In 1986, when he retired from the company, after 23 years, Paul was Monarch Food's Branch Manager. After his retirement, Paul opened Travel Agents International in Malden, and operated the company for 11 years until he sold in 1997. In May of 1960, Paul married his sweetheart, Jean C. Carey in Everett. The two spent a short time in Medford before settling OBITUARIES | SEE PAGE 20 vere High winning pitcher grew up in Malden. Kevin Cummings, a 1977 Malden High School graduate, who was a standout athlete himself in the late 70s in basketball and Babe Ruth baseball, passed away too soon at only 61 in October 2020. Against Malden, Kevin’s son, senior Kyle Cummings, tossed a complete game gem in a 5-0 shutout win over his dad’s alma mater. With 13 strikeouts and only two walks, it was undoubtedly Kyle’s signature game of his varsity career. We are certain Dad was watching over and was very proud on Patriots’ Day. **** Who’s next as Everett High football head coach? Many were shocked to hear the news of now former Everett High football Head Coach Rob DiLoreto resigning abruptly from his post, after only three seasons, three Greater Boston League titles and a 21-3 record. Without being specific, Coach DiLoreto referred to recent circumstances around the Everett High School situation as the reason for his unexpected departure. But the next question when someone leaves a “name” coaching job is inevitably, “who’s next?” According to all reports we have heard, all signs are pointing to Everett High School staff member Carlos Ruiz as “next man up” for the Crimson Tide post. Ruiz, a longtime Everett High assistant coach, who also coached alongside Coach Deion “Prime Time” Sanders for championship teams at Liberty Christian School in Texas in 2016 and 2017, apparently is positioned to take over one of more high-profile – and now vacant – high school coaching jobs in the state. Stay tuned for more information on this developing story. **** How impressive do Clayton Kershaw’s 200 wins look now? Almost as good as his best winning percentage of the Modern Era! We all know that he is the most dominating pitcher out there right now and that he has been that way for quite some time. That is why no one was surprised to see him achieve his 200th career win recently for the L.A. Dodgers, as he became the third pitcher to reach 200 wins with the Dodgers, joining Don Sutton (233) and Don Drysdale (209). Did you know that his .694 career winning percentage (20088) is the best among pitchers in the Modern Era with at least 200 career wins, just ahead of former Yankee great and Hall of Famer Whitey Ford (236-106, .690)? Wow. Like we said, we knew he was good, but not that good, with those numbers! **** SPORTS WIRE SHOUT-OUTS: By the way, House of Pain’s former lead singer Everlast resurrected even more interest in the aforementioned great Yankees lefty in 1998 with the gem album “Whitey Ford Sings the Blues,” which went triple-platinum with three million sold. The iconic and awesome top single off that record, “What It’s Like,” reached #13 on the charts of the Top 100... What we want to know is, did Everlast ever go meet the real Whitey Ford and, of course, did the big NYY lefty ever get any loot for the liberal use of his real name, no less, all over the rap world? The real Whitey Ford was only 70 when the Everlast record dropped, and he lived until 2020 (age 82), so he must have got paid something, no? We’ll find out... There were two umpires working at the Malden-Revere game on Monday, but just one on the job in the Tornados’ previous game against Lynn Classical at Pine Banks Park. With a shortage of game officials in nearly every sport, including baseball, expect more of the same, say those in the know. JV and FreshMARATHON | SEE PAGE 18
