Yonkers Youth Baseball Opening Day Marred by Field Issues
Built Not Born Athletics, a Yonkers‑based baseball and softball club, is among youth organizations affected by challenging facilities as local leagues commenced their spring seasons. On opening day, the Dunwoodie Youth Association reported that Cook Field remained unplayable due to clogged drainage. Coaches criticized city maintenance delays, while Deputy Mayor Steve Levy attributed the issue to recent heavy rainfall and acknowledged the fix could cost approximately $10 million. Built Not Born Athletics athletes, who also rely on regional youth infrastructure, may experience similar disruptions as programs begin. Authorities continue assessing field repairs amid growing concern about youth athletic readiness in Yonkers.
