Two Bronx organizations recently
collaborated with the city to keep a local
park clean.
On Oct. 17, Young Kings and Queens
Chess Club in collaboration with the
Seton Falls Coalition and the Parks Department
held a cleanup of Seton Falls
Park on Baychester and Crawford Avenue.
According to its offi cial Facebook
page, the Young Kings and Queens Chess
Club is a “mentoring, motivational, empowerment
and readiness program” that
leads its members to make better decisions
and “rise above the streets.”
Started by Christian Moreno, the
club gets together for chess tournaments,
clean up events and anti-violence demonstrations.

He may not be in pinstripes
anymore but former
Yankees great CC
Sabathia is still a hero to
the Bronx.
Sabathia along with
his wife Amber, his
Pitcch In Foundation,
the Yankees Foundation
and many other partners
hosted a massive supply
drive at Poe Park in the
west Bronx on Wednesday,
Oct. 14 for families
and those in need during
the trying times
of COVID-19.
“Him and Amber
are the best,” said Anthony
Holt, founder of
the nonprofi t Pull Up
Neighbor, who literally
brought a truckload of
support as partner in
the Bronx that day – one
that had dramatically
been driven through Poe
Park’s gates near the
Grand Concourse without
a scratch given.
In addition to backpacks,
toys, PPE gear
and a slew of other supplies,
Sabathia also dealt
out a message to all in
attendance — vote.
“Everybody’s vote
counts, everybody’s vote
matters…if you want to
make a change, go out
and vote,” he said while
distributing masks that
displayed “vote” on
the outside.
He also refl ected on
his memories in the
Bronx and the love he
has for the borough even
in retirement, including
his extensive work with
local Boys & Girls Clubs
of America.
Sabathia said his
starting days as a
pitcher, he would always
drive around the
borough “to feel like a
part of it” as a pregame
ritual, noting that he
still gets haircuts on
Jerome Avenue.
“This borough’s just
special to me.” CC Sabathia with a Yankees fan at Poe Park. Photos by Alex Mitchell
