Malden woman, 29, dies By Steve Freker A 29-year-old Malden woman died after a crash involving a motorcycle in Gorham, New Hampshire, on July 2. According to Gorham Police reports, Michaela Svetlana Waldrop, of Malden, was traveling as a passenger on a motorcycle operated by Ryan C. Tidwell, 29, of Berlin, N.H., when the crash occurred on North Main Street (Route 16) in Gorham. The crash took place at about 10:30 p.m. on Thursday, July 2, just two days before the 250th on July 4. Police said the vehicle was traveling with a second motorcycle at the time, though no further details of the incident were immediately available, as the crash remains under investigation by the Gorham Police Department and the New Hampshire State Police Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Unit. It was identified as a single-vehicle crash.

According to reports, the crash victim suffered severe injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene.

I’m proud to have fought for this funding for my city.” The competitive grant, which was prepared by Malden’s Transportation Planner, Jim Tarr, will fund proposed “complete street” improvements along Malden’s Broadway corridor from Everett to Melrose: six new turn lanes Page 3 to enhance traffic flow and relieve congestion for motorists, a new signalized intersection at Taylor and Grover Streets, 19 new crosswalks, signal retiming, access management, stroller-friendly and ADA-compliant curb ramps and pedestrian signals, wayfinding improvements, expanded stormwater infrastructure capacity and new street trees and plantings. Collectively, these improvements will enhance safety, reduce congestion and beautify the street to support long-term growth and economic development. Under the grant, the City of Malden — with support from the Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT), the Healey-Driscoll Administration’s Federal Funds and Infrastructure Office (FFIO) and the Boston Region Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) — has been awarded $1.584 million in Better Utilizing Investment to Leverage Development (BUILD) grant funding from the US Department of Transportation (USDOT). MassDOT has committed to supporting Malden by funding the 20% match requirement with $396,000, bringing the total dollar award to $1.98 million. The USDOT BUILD grant program provides funding for surface transportation infrastructure projects with significant local or regional impact. The eligibility requirements of BUILD allow project sponsors — including state and local governments, counties, tribal governments, transit agencies and port authorities — to pursue multimodal and multijurisdictional projects that are more difficult to fund through other grant programs. BUILD grant funding will be used to complete design plans and other preliminary work before construction begins. Malden is actively pursuing state and federal transportation funding for construction over the next several years.

Everett Aluminum Supplies Aluminum ried, recounted and remembered pitchers in the nearly 70 years of GBL high school baseball lore: Malden High School righthander Kevin McGlinchy and Revere High School lefty Mike Spinelli. Both are recognized universally as the best and most talented pitchers this area has ever produced, with McGlinchy well-known as Malden High’s finest pitcher of all time and Spinelli, Revere High’s top RHS Patriot. At the time, the two teams — Malden and Revere — were among the most highly regarded in Massachusetts. In April 1995, Malden was 7-1 and ranked #4 in The Boston Globe’s weekly baseball poll, having started the season squarely in the top spot, #1 overall. Revere was ranked #6, 6-1 at the time. Greater Boston League Baseball ruled the roost Two other Greater Boston League teams were in the top 25 as well — unheard of these days, but a tribute to the overall strength and iron in the GBL for most of the 1980s and then 1990s. Peabody was #17 and Arlington High right behind them at #18. This game was played at Revere High’s Tony Conigliaro Field, located directly behind Revere High School. By the time the yellow bus pulled in carting the Malden High players and coaches over from the next city, the spacious and expansive RHS parking lot was jammed, with few spaces to be had. It more closely resembled a Patriots-Dolphins game at what was then called Foxboro Stadium. SPORTS | SEE PAGE 9 Summer is Here!

The legislation includes hundreds of thousands of dollars for local economic development projects in Malden, subject to future bond authorization, and makes targeted updates to key economic development programs, promoting job creation, reducing barriers to growth and positioning Massachusetts to remain competitive in the industries of the future. On July 13, the Massachusetts Senate referred the bill to its committee on Ways and Means. “I want to thank Speaker Mariano, House leadership, and my colleagues for their work in advancing this important legislation,” said Representative Ultrino. “This bill reflects a shared commitment to strengthening our economy and supporting communities across the Commonwealth, and I look forward to continuing to work with the Malden delegation to secure key investments for local priorities and programs that will help our community grow.” “This comprehensive economic development bill makes critical investments in key sectors of the Commonwealth’s economy, while supporting small businesses, encouraging housing production and strengthening fair housing protections, and investing in our cities and towns through efforts like downtown revitalization,” said Representative Lipper-Garabedian. “As CoChair of the Emerging Technology Caucus, I am glad to see investments in robotics, AI, and cybersecurity that position the Commonwealth as a leader on innovation, while balancing responsible use of these advancements. Thank you to Speaker Mariano, Chair Michlewitz, Chair Fiola, and Chair Finn for prioritizing this legislation.” “I am very proud of the hard work of the Malden Delegation, as well as House Leadership, to pass this critical bill for the Massachusetts economy,” said Representative Donato. “This will without a doubt catapult much needed changes in Malden and communities across the entire Commonwealth.” Among its most significant provisions, the legislation: • Expands housing opportunities by creating new tools for municipalities to encourage housing production and the adaptive reuse of underutilized commercial properties. The bill streamlines local approvals for commercial-to-residential conversions, establishes a framework for multifamily housing on qualifying religious properties with affordability requirements and improves local planning and permitting through standardized site plan review procedures and training for local land use boards. • Strengthens tenant protections and fair housing by authorizing municipalities to adopt a local option tenant right of first refusal for certain multifamily property sales while enhancing oversight of the real estate profession • Improves the Commonwealth’s fiscal resilience by creating new resources to respond to federal funding uncertainty, support hospitals and community health centers, invest in critical infrastructure and provide “bridge” funding for colleges and universities facing disruptions to federal research funding • Supports entrepreneurs and small businesses by reducing the filing fee to establish a new limited liability company (LLC) from $500 to $100, making it easier and more affordable to start a business in Massachusetts • Establishes Massachusetts’ first comprehensive micromobility framework by creating statewide safety standards and operational guidelines for electric bicycles and other powered personal transportation devices • Strengthens the innovation economy by expanding incentives for the film industry and creating a new tax credit to support digital game development in Massachusetts For Advertising with Results, call The Advocate Newspapers at 617-387-2200 orInfo@advocatenews.net The bill includes $561 million (M) in capital authorizations, such as: • $100M for the Massachusetts Strategic Hub for Innovation, Exchange and Leadership in Defense (SHIELD) to strengthen leadership in defense innovation and national security technologies • $75M to support artificial intelligence infrastructure, emerging technologies and innovation • $50M to help municipalities convert underutilized commercial properties into housing • $50M for remediation of former state-owned properties • $25M to expand business development programs supporting commercial, industrial and manufacturing projects • $25M to advance robotics research and commercialization through MassTech • $25M for downtown revitalization projects that strengthen local business districts and public spaces • $25M to support arts, culture and creative economy investments • $20M to attract international businesses and investment to Massachusetts • $20M for veterans supportive housing initiatives • $10M to strengthen food science, sustainable agriculture and agricultural technology “WE’RE STILL HERE!” Since 1947 MALDEN AUTO BODY Book online: Maldenauto.com 49 Robin St., Everett, MA 617-389-3030 * Maldenab@yahoo.com Over 79 years of exceptional service!

A Malden Councilman at the time, except that I remember Mimi with one arm. It, nevertheless, brought back a few memories. Saint Peters was a ‘sub’ church, for lack of a better description, for the Immaculate Conception. The Edgeworth Italians were ‘relegated’ to Saint Peters because of the many immigrants from Italy at the time who could only speak Italian and of course Father Donovan gave his sermons in Italian.

She’ll recall now, with a chuckle, how Father Donovan singled her out one Sunday and told her to remind her mother that Sunday School at Saint Peters was for the Italian kids and that she should probably go up to the Immaculate Conception for Sunday School. I guess his thinking was maybe she was an Irish kid or something. My sister politely told him she was Italian and had always gone there for Sunday School.

Not the least of which was the Grease Pole. When I was a kid the rest of Malden didn’t come down to Edgeworth for anything. The neighborhoods were as independent from each other as could be. The ‘West Enders’ wouldn’t be caught dead in Edgeworth, nor over in Suffolk Square either, or vice versa. The only time we kids found ourselves up in the West End was after a snowstorm when we would shovel snow off their front walks for a dollar or two. We were like ‘pariahs’ to the rest of Malden. Hell, San Rock Procession 2024 leaving the Italian American Club for the Friday night opening festivities they wouldn’t even let the Italian American Vets Club (ITAMS) band march in the 4th of July Parade one year! “Lot of water has gone under the bridge since then. Back then we were able to tell the police cars (cruisers as we called them) by the spread of headlights. We could tell they were coming a mile away and it gave us time to scatter. Always a crowd of us hanging on the corner in Edgeworth or at a crap game behind some house on Pearl and they would come down and cruise around three or four times a night let alone the daytime constantly. Had to keep those ‘bad kids’ in Edgeworth in line! “A generation changed the thinking of many of the so-called ‘White Anglo Saxon’ crowd who pretty much dominated the rest of the city. Opposites attract and over time many of the guys found their loved ones in high school and such and well.......you know the rest of the story. Although it appears to me, ‘a transplanted Maldonian,’ that Edgeworth may still be Edgeworth. I got a feeling that there might have been some changes over the years? At 88, pushing 89...it would be wonderful to be able to go back for just one week.... to maybe the early forties......? “There were still many immigrants back then....plenty of what we called the ‘OODEES’ (the older Italian immigrant ladies, who only had one dress - the color BLACK) that would be at the wakes and rocking back and forth moaning ‘oo dee’ ‘oo dee’ (Oh God!) and plenty of older Italian men with their gardens in every back yard growing tomatoes, and more tomatoes and even more tomatoes. Many are seen collecting horse droppings on the streets to mix with water in 50-gallon drums in each yard that they would use to water their ‘tomatoes’!! While the rest of their offspring crowd were growing and trying to acclimate being Americans with Italian descent.... the first American born generation had survived the 30’s somehow. “The 2nd World War helped by getting most of them out of Edgeworth, going off to fight, and then.... in my era, the second generation of kids......well, we were trying to find our own way. We made up songs ‘Oh we are the boys of Edgeworth, a part of Malden, Mass. surrounded by the rubber shop and a place where they make gas!!’ (can’t print the rest....) When we were not getting in trouble, we had to learn some Italian words so we could speak to the newly arrived and we had to deal with the immigrant store owners, some of which only spoke Italian. Charlie and Katherine’s, (Gustanz and Caterine’s) come to mind on the corner of Malden and Pearl. We started to make a little headway as we grew older, new homes were being built ‘out in the country’ after the war and we started to spread out of Edgeworth with our ‘out of town brides’ and we sired the third generation. That was the crowd of kids that started to be the ‘good kids.’ They didn’t have the struggle like we did. They didn’t get into trouble. They did what they were told to do by their parents, sometimes grandpa and grandma lived with them in their houses. And of course, then came the fourth generation.

But, as much as I wouldn’t change my life for a minute, I truly miss my Edgeworth minute. West Side Story brings me back at times. Some of the mob type movies help also. The Godfather, Casino, let alone the Soprano’s. Many ‘pool room’ scenes remind me of the Pool Room in Edgeworth (on Pearl). The dialog and dialect used are very familiar. I hardly travel anymore Peter or Saint Rocco’s would be a real treat for me! As you may know I did not make it up to Johnny (Kerrigan’s) funeral, I was going to attempt it, but my sister (John’s mom) insisted that I didn’t try. It would have been great to meet you in person though. Who knows, maybe someday! I look forward to your ‘Musings.’ Don’t mind mine Peter, it gives me an outlet early in the morning while waiting for my other half to wake up for breakfast and I use the time to fiddle with this computer.

All the best!” As Peter Falk’s iconic TV character Columbo would say, “Just one more thing, sir” — speaking of San Rock...This year Malden celebrates 96 years of that communal summer feeling of love and friendship, spread out over three glorious days — simply called... “The Feast.” This year we dedicate the weekend to beloved Edgeworth icons, Billy Settemio and Dom Fermano. Keeping this tradition alive hasn’t been easy. Without those two, it will be even harder. Many of the same families from the original Saint Rocco Society in 1929 continue their involvement in this time-honored tradition ensuring the Feast not only survives but thrives. The Saint Rocco Committee 2026 felt we should once again celebrate in a big way. Just as we did for the 75th when legendary crooner/actor Al Martino brought 25,000 of his nearest and dearest paisans and fans to the congested streets of Edgeworth.

The pitchers were even called two of the top hurlers in New England, the Best” were facing off in Revere, and everyone came to watch, and we mean EVERYONE. It is said that every single MLB team had at least one scout there; some of the teams had two or more. Also, check this out: How many times has THIS ever been said about a Greater Boston League game? Some of the many college baseball programs represented on that windy day in Revere (isn’t it ALWAYS windy in Revere?) were some of the top teams in the nation: UMiami Hurricanes, LSU, Alabama, Oklahoma State, University of Florida. ALL those programs had scouts at this game, at a GBL game in Revere! Unheard of, and never seen before, or since. This ended up being a clasKevin McGlinchy, who was selected in the fifth round of the 1995 MLB draft by the Atlanta Braves, is the greatest pitcher in Malden High School history. (Courtesy Photo) those days. Both of them would go on to be prominently featured in that year’s Major League Baseball draft, which took place on June 1 that year, just after the end of the high school regular season. At the time of that April game, Spinelli, a 6-3, 205 fireballing lefty, whose fastball reached the low 90s in miles per hour, was regarded as the top professional pitching prospect in New England, projected as high as a possible second-rounder in the upcoming June MLB draft. McGlinchy already acknowledged as best Malden pitcher ever Malden’s McGlinchy had already established himself as the top pitcher in Malden High history, even before his senior year. At 6-5, 225, his fastball was clocked at just under 90 mph and his calling card was pinpoint accuracy. He didn’t have to throw breaking balls and never even threw a curveball in a game until college, since Malden’s first future Major Leaguer could spot any pitch he threw anywhere he wanted on the plate. On this day, the two “Best of Mike Spinelli — who signed with the Boston Red Sox out of high school in 1995 — is recalled as the greatest pitcher in Revere High School history. (Courtesy Photo) By the time they left, Malden’s McGlinchy’s “stock” had soared in their estimation, following one of the best games he pitched at the high school level. Considering he won 15 games as a high school hurler, some of them bigtime “Ws,” that is saying something. Spinelli threw gas that day, the radar guns multiplying as the game went on, directly behind the backstop, recording him at sic example of coming to see one player and end up getting a bird’s-eye view of another. The fact is, many of the scouts who journeyed to Revere High that day were Mike Spinelli watchers, coming to see him another time just weeks before the draft. McGlinchy’s ‘stock’ soared that day between 87-90 mph for most of his fastballs. He touched 91 on two pitches, scouts said afterward. The Revere lefthander also had two other deadly weapons in his arsenal: a classic 12-to-6 curveball (that was basically unhittable) to complement his fastball and his pièce de résistance, a killer pickoff move. - LEGAL NOTICE - City of Malden Massachusetts INSPECTIONAL SERVICES 215 Pleasant Street, 3rd Floor Malden, Massachusetts 02148 (781) 397-7000 ext. 2030 MALDEN SITE PLAN REVIEW COMMITTEE FOR ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS PUBLIC HEARING The Malden Site Plan Review Committee for Accessory Dwelling Units will hold a public hearing in Malden City Hall, 215 Pleasant Street, Malden, MA, Mayor’s Conference Room, 4th Floor, at 6:00 P.M. on Tuesday, July 28, 2026, on the petition of Baskaran Balasundaram, filed in Permit Application #RES077276-2026 under Title 12, Code of the City of Malden, Section 12.32.030.D, seeking Site Plan Review and Site Plan Approval of a proposed Accessory Dwelling Unit to be constructed in the basement of the existing single-family dwelling, at the property known as and numbered, 34 Sheafe Street, Malden, MA, and by City Assessor’s Parcel Identification # 126 484 421.

Page 10 Savvy Senior by Jim Miller Should You Get a Heart Calcium Scan? Dear Savvy Senior, I just turned 58 and heart disease runs in my family. My cholesterol has been creeping up, and I’ve been hearing about a scan that can show your actual heart risk. Is that something I should look into? --Heart Worried Dear Worried, You’re smart to think about this now. For years, cholesterol numbers have been the main way to estimate heart disease risk. But there’s another tool gaining attention that can offer a more direct look: a coronary artery calcium scan, or CAC scan. This quick, noninvasive test looks for actual plaque buildup in your heart’s arteries, not just the risk of developing it. Here’s why that matters. High cholesterol suggests you might develop heart disease someday. But calcium in your arteries means some disease is already present. The higher your calcium score, the greater your risk of a future heart attack or stroke. That makes this test especially useful for people like you with a family history and borderline numbers. How it works A CAC scan is a specialized CT scan that takes about 10 minutes and doesn’t require needles or dyes. You simply lie on a table while the scanner takes images of your heart. It uses a small amount of radiation, similar to a mammogram. The result is a calcium score that reflects how much plaque is in your arteries: • A score of zero means no detectable plaque. • A score from 1 to 100 indicates mild plaque. • A score from 100 to 299 suggests moderate buildup. • A score of 300 or higher points to more serious disease. This number gives you and your doctor something concrete to work with. Instead of guessing about your risk, you can make more confident decisions about whether to start a statin or focus on lifestyle changes alone. Who needs it Not everyone needs a CAC scan. It’s most helpful for adults over 40 who have some risk factors, like high cholesterol, high blood pressure, or a family history of heart disease, but aren’t clearly high or low risk. If your risk level is uncertain or you’re hesitant about taking a statin, the scan can help break the tie. It can also be a strong wake-up call. Many people who see plaque on their scan are more motivated to take medication, improve their diet, lose weight, and stay active. Getting one CAC scans are widely available at hospitals and imaging centers that offer CT services. You’ll usually need a doctor’s order, but some centers offer self-pay screenings you can schedule yourself. The scan typically costs about $75 to $200 out of pocket and usually isn’t something you need to repeat very often. Results are often available quickly, sometimes within a day or two. A couple of caveats: A score of zero doesn’t mean you have no risk, and the test isn’t meant for diagnosing symptoms like chest pain. It’s just one piece of the puzzle and should be considered along with your overall health picture. Given your age, family history, and slightly elevated cholesterol, a CAC scan could be a very useful next step. It’s worth having a conversation with your doctor to see if it makes sense for you.

That event was won by Mya Arrendell of Bullis Track Club, Potomac, Md., at 52.88 seconds. In the 100 meter, it was a remarkable finish for Diagne in that it was another personal best, and the first time she has ever broken the 12.00 seconds mark. She had won the MIAA Division 2 State Championship in the 100-meter with a time of 12.29 seconds in May. Diagne’s triumphant MIAA State Championship run in May was a revelation, as she won state titles three times: in the 100 meter, 200 meter and 400 meter events. In the 200 meter, she was MIAA Division 2 State Champion with a 24.59 seconds victory. She also was second overall in Massachusetts with a 24.02 seconds finish on June 4 at the Meet of Champions (All Divisions). Diagne was also MIAA Division 2 State Champion in the 400 meter event with a 56.04 seconds finish. With a personal best 54.96 seconds finish in the Meet of Champions on June 6, she placed second.

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, July 17, 2026 Page 11 SPORTS | FROM PAGE 9 state baseball history. Saying it was “nasty,” a common baseball adjective, does not even scratch the surface. Consider this: That April 25 game was only Revere’s seventh of the season. Spinelli had already picked 13 runners off first to start the season! Remarkably, “Spinna” only picked off one, lone Malden baserunner all game that day, and even that move sparked a lengthy “did he balk, or did he not?” powwow by the umpires after a challenge from the Malden bench. “No balk, he’s out” was the final decision. Overall, Malden had a decent day at the plate, managing sevIRREVOCABLE TRUSTS AND RENTAL REAL ESTATE just as if the rental real estate were held directly in your name. A typical Medicaid irrevocable R ental real estate is one type of asset that can be transferred to an irrevocable Trust without any adverse tax consequences. The real estate can also be sold by the Trust and the net sales proceeds therefrom can be used to purchase another piece of rental real estate at any time during or after the socalled “five-year look-back” period. Whenever you do transfer rental real estate to such a Trust, there is a five-year period that must elapse before this otherwise disqualifying transfer will no longer be considered a disqualifying transfer. In other words, once the five-year period has gone by, the assets held inside the Trust will not be countable for MassHealth eligibility purposes. There would also be no adverse income tax consequences associated with the sale of the rental property while held in the irrevocable Trust. In effect, the same capital gains taxes, if any capital gain to begin with, would be paid Trust is designed as an “income only” Trust, meaning the Trustee is obligated to pay out the income (if any) earned by the Trust to the Settlor (often referred to as the Grantor or Donor) of the Trust. “Net” rental income is “income”. Therefore, you would take all of your gross rents collected for the year and deduct all of the expenses attributable to the rental property in order to arrive at “net” rental income. The Settlor is the individual who creates the Trust and who is retaining the right to receive the income for the rest of his or her life. There cannot be any right to receive any “principal” from the Trust under any circumstances. If there is, the Trust will not qualify, and the assets held inside the Trust will be countable for purposes of MassHealth eligibility. To be technically correct, each tenant would write out a check made payable to the Trust. You would apply for a federal ID number in the name of the Trust and once obtained, open up a checking account in the name of the Trust. You may also wish to file a separate Trust income tax return to report the rent income and rent expenses for each calendar year. The federal form is Form 1041 and the Mass form is Form 2G. These types of Trusts are drafted in such a way as to be treated as “Grantor-type” Trusts for federal and state income tax purposes as the Settlor is considered to be the “owner” for federal income tax purposes. Therefore, the Trust will not pay any federal or Mass income taxes if there is any net rental income (i.e. a profit). Rather, the Trust will issue a Grantor Letter to the Settlor that would be utilized by him or her in preparing an individual income tax return. The Grantor Letter is what allows you to figure out how much income to report on your individual income tax return. These Medicaid irrevocable Trusts are therefore designed to be income tax neutral, resulting in no increase or decrease in income tax liability to the Settlor. If the rental real estate is sold by the Trust, the net sales proceeds therefrom must be retained in Trust and the Settlor would then be entitled to the investment income generated therefrom, whether it be from interest income, dividend income or capital gain income. In the alternative, if replacement real estate is purchased, title must be held in the same Trust and not be purchased by the Settlor in his or her own name. Otherwise, that would start the five year look back period all over again. Joseph D.

McGlinchy, meanwhile, was setting them and knocking them down, punching out seven Revere batters for strikeouts over the first four innings. McGlinchy surrendered just three hits, one of them a run-scoring double by senior Revere catcher David Lightbody to score Mike Popp in the bottom of the fourth inning to cut the lead to one run. This was probably no surprise since Lightbody, in four years of varsity baseball against Malden maybe made just one or two outs and hit close to .900 when facing the Blue and Gold at the plate. Spinelli pitched into the sixth inning — striking out nine — before giving way to a reliever, and McGlinchy finished seven innings complete, piling up 11 strikeouts and walking just three batters. One of those walks ended up scoring and tying the game in the bottom of the seventh inning for Revere at 3-3 on a high chopper over the pitcher’s mound, an RBI infield single by Revere’s Dennis Diaz. The “history in the making” game had ended in a fitting tie after seven regulation innings with both of the “big gun” pitchers now departed from the mound. Extra innings, “free baseball,” followed. The excitement was far from over and a winner still to be decided. Malden got runners on second and third, one out in the top of eighth inning, but could not get the run in, a popup and strikeout ending the threat. Malden’s own senior lefthander Joe Souza, who finished the season with a remarkable 9-5 overall pitching record, came on for Malden and got two quick outs, bringing one of Revere’s top hitters back to the plate in Popp and the score still tied at 3-3.

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, July 17, 2026 Page 13 SPORTS | FROM PAGE 11 Popp worked the count to 2-1 and then on then next pitch turned on a Souza offering and drove it on a rising liner that never came down until it has cleared the left field fence for a classic, two-out, game-winning home run. As the Revere team mobbed Popp in celebration at the plate in the eventual 4-3 win, everyone knew they had just seen history made. The postgame handshake was genuine. Two rival teams full of GBL baseball stars wished each other “good game” on a spirited day of top-shelf competition. For Revere it was Head Coach Al Blasi, Mike Spinelli, David Lightbody, Mike Popp, Dennis Diaz, Frank Candela, Brian Spagnoulo and others. Malden featured Kevin McGlinchy, Joe Souza, Rich Griffin, Ronnie Repoza, D.J. Cunningham and others. After the game the scouts wanted to talk with both of the two primetime pitchers. Many of them had already sat at Spinelli’s kitchen table talking about the upcoming draft. UMiami Hurricanes pitching coach — and future LSU and Florida International University Baseball Head Coach — “Turtle” Thomas had already offered Spinelli a full baseball scholarship to come to Coral Gables. After this game, he wanted to know McGlinchy’s future plans. As fate would have it, Coach Thomas that day ended up getting McGlinchy’s contact info and passed it on to a former Hurricane lefty who happened to be the pitching coach for the College of Central Florida Patriots. The CCF Patriots ended up recruiting and signing McGlinchy for the next school year after the Malden star declined to sign with the Atlanta Braves six weeks later. Three GBL players selected in the 1995 draft In the draft on June 1, a lot of local dreams came true as Revere’s Mike Spinelli was drafted by the Boston Red Sox in the fourth round — the 102nd player selected — and ended up signing for $325,000. In the next round, two more GBL players were selected, the most in any MLB draft ever, three total, when Peabody High catcher Steve Lomasney was picked in the fifth round at number 130 overall by the Boston Red Sox. Then Malden history was made when Kevin McGlinchy was selected by the Atlanta Braves with the 141st pick in the fifth round. Lomasney signed with the Sox and began his professional career, along with Spinelli, while McGlinchy went the “draft-andfollow” route, opting to forgo the Braves’ last offer, attend college for one year and then ultimately sign for $425,000 in June 1996. He would go on to a fiveyear career with the Braves, including a National League pennant 1999 and two appearances in the 1999 World Series against the Yankees. But on that fateful April day in 1995, all the seeds were sown when the best game ever played in the Greater Boston League made history.
