Marty Adler, teacher and historian of Brooklyn Dodgers, mourned
Old-time Brooklyn baseball enthusiasts on Monday mourned Marty Adler, the retired educator and Long Island resident who established the Brooklyn Dodgers Hall of Fame to keep the memory of Brooklyn’s major-league baseball team alive.
Adler, who died last week of a stroke, lived in Plainview, N.Y.
The Hall of Fame, although it was an officially incorporated non-profit, didn’t have a permanent home. However, Adler donated many of the artifacts, such as uniforms, programs and baseballs, for the Brooklyn Baseball Gallery at MCU Park, home of the Brooklyn Cyclones.
