Video: BOE Approves Naming Baseball Field After Brewster

Edison field to be dedicated in April 23 ceremony.

The Board of Education formally approved the renaming of the varsity baseball field at Edison Intermediate School after the late Bob Brewster Sr., a longtime advocate for Westfield athletics.

The field will be formally dedicated in Brewster's memory during a ceremony on April 23. The dedication will take the form of a bronze statue of a chair. Brewster, the father of WHS varsity baseball coach Bob Brewster Jr., was a longtime volunteer in the Westfield athletic universe, including attending many baseball games and mentoring scores of youth baseball players townwide. He passed away last year.
