The ball field at Castleton Park has been renamed in honor of late township resident Earl Williams, who in 1971 was Major League Baseball’s National League Rookie of the Year.

Williams, who lived in the township for more than 20 years, died in January of 2013.

The Township Council voted to rename the park’s ball field after Williams following an emotional presentation of a commendation to Williams’ widow and family.
