The city of Cleveland has invested $6.3 million in restoring the old site of League Park, a historic site where the Cleveland Indians clinched its 1920 World Series title, Babe Ruth hit his 500th home run and where Joe DiMaggio extended his hitting streak to 56 games. Not much of the old ballbark, where Cy Young threw the first pitch in 1891 remains, but the new park will host high school and youth games on its all-turf field and will pay homage to the greats who once played there.

Carol Sharrow was charged with manslaughter after she drove her car onto a Little League field and killed a man Friday night in Sanford, Maine.

According to the Associated Press, Sharrow struck Douglas Parkhurst, 68, who died en route to the hospital.

"The vehicle entered the park through the main gate and drove onto the field," Sanford Police wrote on Facebook. "Bystanders and ballplayers scattered to avoid the vehicle as it drove erratically on the ballfield. The vehicle struck a closed gate and then sped toward the open main gate. The vehicle struck a pedestrian who was near the main gate, and then sped from the scene."
