This Friday, November 21, marks the 8th anniversary of the passing of one of West Orange’s favorite sons, David Cassidy. 

The David Cassidy West Orange Historical Marker Facebook Group has arranged to have Reverend Hernandez include David Cassidy in his ‘prayers of the people’ during the 9:30 am Sunday Mass on 11/23. A memorial candle will all also be displayed. All are welcome!

They also invite fans to visit special lawn signs displayed at his childhood home at 23 Elm Street, from Thursday through Sunday.

While in Downtown, you can visit the Historical Marker that was installed at Colgate Field (on Franklin Avenue) and the Elm Street corners that were co-named in his honor (on Franklin Ave and Harrison Ave) this past summer.

David & Baseball

David’s great love for baseball started from a very young age. His Grand-pop, Fred Ward, would take him to Yankee Stadium to watch Mickey Mantle and Roger Maris play. David became an avid Yankees fan. Mickey Mantle became his lifelong idol and his prized possession was a Mickey Mantle signed baseball.

David started playing baseball at Colgate Field which was a short 5 minute walk from his home in West Orange, New Jersey.

Today, David is being honored with the placing of a historical marker at his childhood baseball park, Colgate Field.
