June 21, 2006 - The legendary Don Zimmer, former Boston Red Sox Manager and New York Yankees Coach, is seen with two of his favorite people, his daughter Donna Zimmer Mollica, and granddaughter Whitney Mollica last Sunday at Frank DeLuca Hall of Fame Field.

Zimmer was in Connecticut at another function and drove to Stratford to watch his granddaughter play for the Stratford Brakettes (ASA team). Whitney, a second-team All-America as a freshman at UMass, didn’t disappoint as she collected three hits, including a three-run home run, and five RBI in a 10-2 win over the Connecticut Classics.
