Seattle, WA (PRWEB) August 13, 2004 -- Alexander Joy Cartwright, IV, Founder
of the Mr. Baseball Foundation and CEO of MR Baseball LLC will be asking the
Hawaiian public for funds to raise a monument at the gravesite of his ancestor
Alexander Joy Cartwright Jr. to acknowledge his Great, Great Grandfather’s
contribution to baseball. Cartwright's gravesite at Oahu Cemetery is visited by
hundreds of people each year, yet there has never been a formal marking that
indicates his contributions to Hawaiian society and involvement with baseball's
beginnings.
“This new monument will sit next to the existing headstone
and will bare the words of Alick’s Hall of Fame Plaque in Cooperstown NY.
Forever will the people of Hawaii and visitors know that Alick was both a great
statesman of Hawaii and the “Father of Baseball”
