Congressman Cartwright comes to White Haven

by Seth Isenberg

Last Thursday, Congressman Matt Cartwright brought staff to the White Haven Area

Community Library to meet with constituents. Library volunteers gave him a tour of the library ahead of a sit-down with some 30

The Community Development Grant application had been tabled at the June meeting, and the July discussion of this issue resulted in the same outcome, which was that the Township doesn’t have any projects that would fall under this grant’s prerequisites. Therefore, the Township will have to forfeit their opportunity to file for the grant this year.

The Tar and Chip project documents were executed at this month’s meeting.

Zoning Officer Jack

This month’s Road report per Jim Yackiel included various jobs being completed. Drains were cleaned on Peat Moss Road, weeds were cut around signs, roadside grass was cut, storm water erosion was repaired at the road shoulder on Hollenback Road near the bridge, and storm debris was cleared on multiple Township roads. The loader required a new hydraulic hose, and salt was moved in the salt shed.

Regarding the salt contract, township secretary Kathleen Stortz said she spoke to a customer service representative who advised

Supervisor Bruce Thomas explained the township has been granted emergency DEP permits for the bridge repairs at Ice Lake and on Hollenback Road. The engineer will put these projects out for bids.

Thomas also reported the township did not receive an invoice from the tree trimmer this month. However, they have completed trimming on Red Shale Pit Road and Stolpe Road. Middleburg Road and Peat Moss Road still need to be cut.

The secretary read the Fire report, which included 9 calls, 24.5 hours of service, 12.5 hours of training and 6 hours of maintenance. She also mentioned two members of the Fire Company did a Show and Tell for the day campers at Camp Kresge last month.

The Village of Peace got a greenlight for their minor subdivision plan at the July 3 Lehigh Township Supervisors’ meeting, although technically the request had automatically been approved since it was more than 120 days since the application was originally made.

Part of the approval delay was the result of a lack of quorum for the Planning Commission. The plans were reviewed by the members who did attend the meeting, and the proposal was passed on to the supervisors, who approved it, along with a waiver of fees. Supervisors also authorized David Hartz

Supervisors are still working on the Codification Project, and will meet again on July 26 to continue reviewing possible corrections and questions from Civic Plus.

All three supervisors were present and there were three people in the audience.

The importance of speaking up

by Ruth Isenberg

It’s always been done this way. No point in saying anything, because nothing every changes around here. Why bother? The people in charge won’t pay any attention.

Except that things do change, especially when people care enough to speak up. Sometimes the “people in charge” do what they do just because no one tells them they’d like something different.

White Haven is showing signs of growth, and gaining some attention throughout the area, because people are stepping up and speaking up. Last week’s visit by Congressman Matt Cartwright drew a good-sized crowd. The Chamber of Commerce-sponsored Satruday markets are being talked about and visited. People are excited about plans for a big celebration for the community’s 200th birthday next year.

Is everyone happy? Of course not. Will everything happen according to plan? No, but an involved population makes it a lot more likley that the community will adapt to whatever the future brings.

Preparation and planning are essential for change. But the key ingredient is participation. In the coming months, people will be asking for opinions about the direction our area should take, and the projects that should be pursued.

If you live here, you probably have a point of view that needs to be heard. Don’t be left out of the conversation.

White Haven Borough Council met new Constable Tom Szoke at its meeting of July 8. Szoke, who was appointed to the post by the Luzerne County Court, told council he wanted to get to know the kind of service they might look for from him in his new duties.

Loose pets were also a topic, as Mayor Jay Holder reported a “wandering puppy” on Main Street.

Preparations were underway for placement of a caboose being obtained by council member Ray Ward to go on a piece of property being leased from Wilmot Engineering.

The Journal-Herald’s Kid’s Corner Editor Kenneth DeVito presented a variety of stories, drawings and riddles submitted by local kids, and asked for more items.

Clara wrote a somewhat scathing review of the PA Shakespeare Festival’s performance of Twelfth Night. “Twelfth Night has a preposterous plot (I will not bore anyone unfamilar with it), and none of the cast seemed able to rise above it.”

From The Journal

Issue of July 15, 1943

Publisher W. C. Taylor

Sixteen men from the White Haven section of District 10 have received calls to report for the final physical examinations at the Land and Sea Induction Center in Wilkes-Barre.

In the entire district, 135 men have been called.

For the first time since this country entered the war, the contingent includes a large number of married men without children in their families.

The home of William Elliot of Middleburg, Dennison Township, was burned to the ground early Sunday morning when lightning struck and started a blaze at 2:35 o’clock.

About 15 minutes later, an East White Haven house was struck but was damaged only to the extent of a hole in the roof.

The Luzerne County Medical Society planned a meeting and seminar at the White Haven Sanitorium, which was founded by Dr. Lawrence F. Flick in 1901 on an eighty-acre tract known as the Dr. Trimmer Tract. It was a free hospital for “poor consumptives,” admitting 11 patients the first year, of

whom “several were cured.”

By 1943 new and modern building had replaced the original structure “and the sanatorium is one of the leading institutions of its kind in the country.”

“In the first of a series of baseball games to decide the local championship, Lehigh Tannery won over the White Haven team at Lehigh Park on Sunday afternoon last by the score of 4 to 2. Carter and Schafer were the batteries for the locals, while Gower and McCluskey did duty for the Tannery lads.”

members of the public, mostly locals but some from as far away as Pocono Pines and Kingston.

The library is looking for funding sources to finish off the upstairs area, and hoping for grant money. The stop was organized so that Cartwright could speak to small groups, set up at tables of six or seven. While he touched on issues as the White Haven Center and White Haven Business District improvements, most of the conversations revolved around individual concerns.

One group wanted to discuss Lehigh River fishery and that an improvement could allow cold waters from the Francis Walter Lake to flow in the summer, better supporting the trout habitats downriver.

Letter to the Editor

To the Editor:

The history of third parties’ effects on American Presidential elections is one long nightmare.

Taft would have beaten Woodrow Wilson, but the Bull Moose Party’s Teddy Roosevelt split the GOP vote to hand Wilson 8 years in the White House.

In 1992, Ross Perot cost the Republicans a sure win against Bill Clinton. Perot got almost 20% of the total vote, almost 20 million votes. Bush got almost 40 million. Bill Clinton got 45 million. Very few Democrats voted for Perot.

Of course, the most famous third party fiasco cost Al Gore the Presidency in 2000. Gore lost Florida by less than

600 votes per Supreme Court decree. Ralph Nader took over 100,000 votes from Gore. Anybody know any Nader Republicans? Me neither.

In 2016, Hillary lost PA by 40,000 votes. Jill Stine took 90,000 votes and is running again on the current fake No Labels right wing scam next year, showing her true right wing colors. She pretended to be an environmentalist in the 2016 “Green” Party. Anybody know a Green Party Republican in 2016? Me neither..

LEGAL NOTICE

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that Letters Testamentary have been granted to Brian Earley, of Conyngham, Pennsylvania in the Estate of LOISANN H. EARLEY late of Conyngham, Pennsylvania, who died on May 30, 2023. All persons indebted to said Estate are requested to make payment and those having claims or demands to present the same without delay to the Executor named or to:

So, it has reached the point in America where extremist plutocrats have come up with a new ruse for 2024 - the No Labels sham, pretending objectivity and 90% funded by the Koch brothers and their billionaire buddies. Every vote for No Labels is a vote for Donald Trump. Some Democratic voters may be deceived by the false front of No Labels. My advice is to ignore them. While the Editor’s sentiment is noble, and I agree in principal that parties must be able to compromise to accomplish needed legislation, we must be very careful to perceive that “Third Party” candidates like TR, Perot, and Nader have caused Presidents who should have won to lose.

I pray to God our democracy survives the 2024 election.

Obituaries

EDNA L. (MOYER) RADLEY

Edna L (Moyer) Radley of Mountain Top, formerly of White Haven, died Monday, July 3, 2023, in Mountain Top Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center, Mountain Top. Born in White Haven on January 1, 1935, she was the daughter of the late Lee and Dorothy Bower Feist and was a graduate of White Haven High School.

Edna moved to Milford, Connecticut shortly after her marriage to her first husband, Richard (Dick) Moyer, who died in 1984.

Edna and Dick started their family there and then moved to Stratford,

Connecticut before moving back to White Haven.

Edna was a member of the Presbyterian Church prior to her membership of the White Haven United Methodist Church. She was a member of the choir in both churches and was a member of the Terian Club of the Presbyterian Church and a member of the Session there as well and a member of the White Haven Fire Company Auxiliary organization.

Edna was a talented seamstress and worked for many of the garment companies in the area. She made many outfits for her daughters during their younger years and then designed and created wedding dresses for each of them. She also made her granddaughter Melissa’s beautifully detailed christening dress, which was recently worn by her greatgranddaughter, Melissa’s daughter, Harper.

Edna was invited to participate in the “United We Stand, United We Sew” project in 2003. The 9/11 Memorial Flag was escorted throughout the United States by various veterans’ organizations and was in White Haven for the White Haven Fire Company’s patch to be added. Edna was one of the seamstresses who took part in adding this to the flag, a patchwork quilt measuring 22’ x 32’ with over 2,983 miniature American Flags representing each victim from the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and Flight #93. A very proud moment for her and one that she would always

remember.

In addition to her parents, Edna was preceded in death by her second husband Bill Radley, her sister, Nancy Hassel and brothers, Charles, and Lee Feist.

Edna is survived by her children, Diane (Robert) Lamson, Cheri Moyer, Richard (Barbara) Moyer; grandchildren Matthew (Clare) Sipler, Jeffrey Sipler and Melissa (Stanley) Kania; and her precious greatgranddaughters, Maren and Laurel Sipler and Harper Kania. She is also survived by her sister-in-law, Jeanne Feist of Taos, New Mexico and several nieces and nephews.

A memorial service was held on Saturday, July 8, in White Haven United Methodist Church, White Haven, with Pastor Esther Inuwa officiating. Interment followed in Laurel Cemetery, White Haven.

Memorial contributions may be made in Edna’s memory to the American Cancer Society or the American Heart Association. Harman Funeral Homes & Crematory, Inc. (East), 669 West Butler Drive, Drums, is assisting the family with the arrangements. Online condolences can be entered, and more information is available at www. harmanfuneral.com.

JAMES R. MARINER

James R. Mariner, 59, of White Haven, passed away unexpectedly on Wednesday July 5, 2023 at Sunrise Lake while collecting water for flowers he had just planted.

Born in Wilkes-Barre, he was the son of Alberta (Best) Mariner and the late Joseph Raymond Mariner. Jim attended MMI Prep and was a 1982 graduate of Bishop Hafey High School.

He was the director of convention services at Split Rock Resort and director of group sales at Pocono Manor Inn for many years.

An avid outdoorsman, Jim was the president of the LOWLPA hunting club and loved spending his time hunting, fishing, and golfing.

Preceding him in death were his maternal grandparents Clarence and Alice Best and his beloved cat, Woodie.

Left to cherish his memory is his beloved mother, Alberta, Uncle Charles (Bonnie) Best; cousins Charles (Loretta) Best, Michael (Natalie) Best, and Suzanne (William) Lynch, and many extended cousins.

Funeral services will be conducted with a Mass of Christian Burial on Saturday, July 22, at 10 a.m.

Friends are invited to join the family for visitation at the church starting at 9 a.m. until time of the funeral service. Burial will be done at the convenience of the family.

In lieu of flowers, Memorial Donations can be made in Jim’s name to the St. Patrick’s Building Fund or the SPCA.

to sign the plans on behalf of the Planning Commission. Later in the meeting, supervisors acted to begin the process of reducing the size of the Planning Commission from 9 to 5

to make it easier to get a quorum of members. Nine was the number set when the Commission was formed in 1975. The solicitor will be asked to prepare the resolution to make the change.

Jay Koch presented the report for the Lehigh & Lausanne Volunteer Fire

Company. There were two calls in June, one in Tresckow and one in Lehigh Township. Members are needed, both for firefighting and to help with fundraising events such as the upcoming Homecoming July 28 and 29.

The Sewage Enforcement Officer will be directed to

follow up with local, state and federal authorities on a complaint about the operation of a campground along Leslie Run Road without necessary sewage facilities.

Roadmaster Len Weston will be putting up Stop Signs again, and noted that stealing or damaging the traffic control devices is a felony and will be prosecuted.

Brush cutting will continue over the next two weeks.

There was discussion about a truck Foster

Township is replacing that the supervisors are considering.

A total of 15 garbage collection accounts have been sent to the magistrate, at a cost of $2,055.75.

Chairman Larry Skinner felt in future the township should file liens instead. Present were supervisors Pawel Fiolek, Skinner and Weston, and secretary/ treasurer Carol Lenahan. The next meeting is scheduled for Monday, August 7, at 1 p.m. at the township building on Lehigh Gorge Drive.

Computer Shopping Part II

by Jeremy dePrisco

In my last article, I suggested that when buying a new computer, it’s best to consider what you want to do with it first, then find the machine that will fit the requirements of any programs you want to use. Now we’ll look at some of the most important specs to consider.

The most important specs

to consider are:

CPU (Centralized Processing Unit) Processor speed

These days, for most applications, the CPUs on the market are pretty amazing. Both PC and Mac machines have blazing fast CPUS now, so your choice largely comes down to what you can afford based on your budget, and what is recommended by the program requirements.

Memory RAM (Random Access Memory)

If it’s within your budget, buy as much as possible.

Most machines come standard with 8-16 GB of RAM these days. If you are working with audio or video you’ll want more. Again, refer to your application requirements.

Storage (hard drive space)

Today I suggest a minimum of 1 TB to start, with the caveat that you’ll want a backup option in place for that same amount of space. We’ll cover backups in a separate column.

Graphics Processing Unit (GPU)

Historically, graphics have

often been handled by the CPU, but it is now common to have a separate processor for graphics. You’ll find this spec called out on gaming machines. For business machines, this is less of a requirement. For multimedia (including audio, video editing), it’s essential to have a dedicated GPU the fastest you can afford.

When I buy a new computer, I will spend a few weeks researching the latest machines that are available. I’m typically in no hurry, because there are always sales.

Arguments over whether to buy a Mac or PC are unproductive. I use both. Both have their pros/cons.

I’ve done great work with both. Do your own research and find the fit that is right for you, with as little hype as possible.

If you are fortunate to live by a major computer sales outlet, take advantage of the opportunity to see machines up close. But don’t feel that you have to purchase anything there. Buying online is usually more cost effective, even with shipping. Sales people have a motive: they want to sell you something. That doesn’t always mean that they have your best interests in mind. Salespeople at big box stores may or may not have the training or See GEEK DESK, page 7

experience required to truly guide customers through a purchase.

The nice thing about online shopping is that you can focus on the task at hand with little interference from

a sales person.

What about Chromebooks? They can be a great option for some people, but will not completely satisfy many people given their limitations. As we saw in the application requirements of my last article, Chromebooks were

We had been worried about just how dry things had been in the woods through the late spring. Our area had some wildfires and there was also the smoke from the big fires out in Canada.

Then the weather changed just before summer started, and it started getting rainy.

This was quite the rainy spell…

predictions for Saturday, July’s Main Street Market in White Haven enjoyed hot, beautiful weather. The first-ever public fireworks at the Penn Forest Township Park also was lucky with weather that night. We could see there were stray thunderstorms off in the distance.

from home.

What about Linux?

According to a recent count, Linux makes up less than 5% of the global computer market.* I’m going to admit that I have very little experience with Linux, so I’d steer folks toward any number of great tutorials on YouTube that cover the ins

and outs of that operating system. Anecdotally, I have found most Linux users to be folks who already have significant experience with Macs and PCs.

As far as sightings go, I’m pretty sure I saw a coyote that ran across the road in Weatherly. It appears that the changeable weather has some birds out looking to be mating, including a redwing blackbird flapping its wings in a frenzy.

I was enjoying a riverside lunch at the new boat ramp south of White Haven, watching the Lehigh as it rushed by. A couple of weeks ago, water was low and the flow, lazy. Not now. I had my lunch in hand when I sighted a “raft” of Canada geese (about nine in three or four tight rows, side-byside), floating downriver in mild rapids. It looked like

a rafting trip. I reached for the camera phone but could not get a shot when a second “raft” of geese followed the first. My guess is that they were having a little fun. This is the week of the Pow-Wow at Drums we’re likely going on Saturday, and the St. Patrick’s Festival in White Haven. Weather permitting, we plan to also attend a night at the Benton Rodeo.

Next week is race weekend, and the Pocono Mountains Music Festival’s opening shows prime time here in our piece of the Poconos.

Enjoy the weather in good health …

Magic, music and more highlight St. Patrick’s Summer Festival

There will be something for everyone at the St. Patrick’s Parish Summer Festival this weekend.

Festivities begin at 4 p.m. on Friday, July 14, when food stands and the gigantic flea market open. There will also be tricky trays and children’s games both days of the festival, which will be held indoors and outside.

At 5 p.m., the Andrew Nicholas Band will take the stage. Nicholas is a singer/ songwriter who was born and raised in Northeastern PA. His music is influenced

by The Dave Matthews Band, Matt Nathanson, and David Gray. He is the winner of the NEPA Scene Rising alent, which shows local talent in the area. According to his Soundcloud page, his raw sound is a combination of raspy vocals, unique acoustic guitar playing, and heartfelt lyrics.

Satrday’s entertainment will start off with magician Brent Kessler, from 1:30 to 2:30. His performance will feature magic and humor, engaging all ages in his act.

The traditional Polka Mass will take place at 5 p.m. in the church.

Fro 5-9 p.m., E Sounds Entertainment will keep the music coming.

Food is at the heart of any good festival, and St. Patrick’s Summer Festival will offer American, Polish and Italian specialties, potato panckaes, funnel cakes, and homemade desserts. Wood’s Ice Cream Truck will also be on site. The Festival will go on, rain or shine, so plan to visit the Summer Festival this weekend. And if you can’t get enough of the great festival food in two days, this month only the monthly Bingo game has been moved to Sunday, July 16, and Festival Food will be available. Doors open at 5 p.m.

More upcoming bazaars

The annual Good Shepherd Church bazaar will be held Friday through Sunday, July 14-16, on the church grounds in Drums.

The Most Precious Blood Church will hold its annual bazaar Friday through Sunday, August 11-13, at the church at Fourth and Seybert streets in Hazleton.

Registration will be at 10 a.m., with kickstand going up at noon. The run will leave from Freeland

American Legion Post 473, 523 Center Street in Freeland. The run will benefit Ember Rose Earley.

Pocono race weekend coming up fast

by Steve Stallone Sports Editor

The annual Pocono Raceway NASCAR Weekend is on the doorstep. The three-day racing weekend is set for July 21-23 at the Long Pond superspeedway, with plenty of racing on track, and fun for the entire family throughout the massive facility.

NASCAR’s top drivers, and those aspiring to be one of them, will provide the excitement on the track,

starting with the ARCA Menards Series Race on Friday evening (July 21) at 6 p.m. It is the first of four races in three days on the 2.5-mile tri-oval.

On Saturday, the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series drivers take the track for the CRC Brakleen 150 at noon, followed by the NASCAR Xfinity Series Explore the Pocono Mountains 225 race at 5:30 p.m.

The racing weekend culminates on Sunday with the NASCAR Cup Series

Pocono 400, which goes green at 2:30 p.m.

William Byron comes into the Cup Series race on fire, having won the rainshortened NASCAR race at Atlanta Motor Speedway on Sunday night for his series-high fourth victory of the season. Byron leads the season point standings with 628 points.

Byron is followed in the standings by Kyle Busch (592 points, 3 wins), Martin Truex Jr. (607, 2 wins), Kyle Larson (531, 2) and

If Zuckerberg-Musk cage fight happens, Zuck will have the edge

by Matthew Paris

There’s even more a stake now that Zuckerberg has launched “Threads,” which resides in Twitter’s space. But whether the bout will happen is still a matter of speculation. If it does, go with Zuck, not Musk.

Mark Zuckerberg is a Jiu-Jitsu champ, having won his first competition in Redwood City, California, this Spring. Zuckerberg took home gold and silver medals by outlasting outlasted opponents in two lightweight divisions.

Many celebrities tweeted in support of Zuckerberg

when he won, congratulating him on his achievement.

Zuckerberg began training during the COVID-19 pandemic under the guidance of Khai Wu and James Terry, and he has gotten better and better at the sport since then. Today, Zuckerberg competes on the “Guerilla Jiu-Jitsu” team founded and led by Judo and BJJ black belt master Dave Camarillo.

Zuckerman and Musk are world-class innovators, having accomplished great things in the business ring. But Zuck has the edge when it comes to the fight ring.

They’ll be receiving plenty of heat at Pocono from the likes of Long Pond veterans Kevin Harvick, Brad Keselowski, Chase Elliott, Ricky Stenhouse Jr., AJ Almendinger, Alex Bowman, Aric Almirola, Bubba Wallace and others.

The NASCAR Cup Series will first make a pit stop at New Hampshire Motor Speedway this weekend. Afterward, race teams will pack up their haulers and head for Pocono.

10-12 year-old tournament championship with a 4-2 victory over Franklin Township on Monday evening. Valley West, which has now won six straight district titles, will move on to Section 6 competition this weekend in Allentown.

In the 9-11 age group, Valley West’s entry also emerged victorious, thumping Tamaqua 14-2 in the title game on Saturday. Valley West goes on to the Section 6 Tournament, which will be held at the Tamaqua Little League complex starting Friday evening.

Matthew Paris’s new book, Honor Among Players, is available on Amazon.com. Set in the mid-1990s in Houston, TX, the book tells the tale of a young boy who follows the Houston Rockets all the way to an NBA championship.

Congratulations to all the District 18 Little League Tournament champions!

Is the NL East the best division?

by Brandon King

Baseball’s National League East is stacked with talent like Ronald Acuna, Bryce Harper, Jazz Chisholm, Francisco Lindor, and so many more. Currently 3 out of 5 of teams in the East are above .500; The Braves (5727), The Marlins (49-37), and our home team Phillies (44-39).

One of the biggest surprises is that the New York Mets, the team with the highest payroll in the entire MLB, are currently 38-46. On paper The Mets may have the best roster out of the group but age, injuries, and inconsistency has plagued this team all season long.

The Atlanta Braves have been the most successful of the group not just this year but in recent seasons. In

2021 they won the World Series and last season they lost in the divisional round of the playoffs to the Phillies. The Braves are led by Ronald Acuna Jr., who is now the only player in MLB history to have 20 home runs, 50 Runs batted in, and 40 stolen bases before the all-star break. Acuna isn’t just getting walked to get on base, as he is currently batting .336 for the season to go along with the incredible numbers.

The Braves have one of the best pitching staffs in all of baseball, led by Spencer Strider. Strider has officially been named to the all-star team with his teammate Acuna. Spencer is currently on pace for a possible Cy Young award as he is currently 10-2 on the season with a 3.66 era! A 3.66 is a bit high when you talk about

a Cy Young winner but the Braves give Strider the run support he needs to make him look even better in the bump.

Down in Miami, the Marlins have shocked the rest of the division. They have one player representing them in the all-star game

- Luis Arraez, the MLB’s leader in hitting average with a .388. Arraez came over from the Minnesota Twins, in his last four seasons Arraez has only been under .300 once in those four seasons. Even that year back in 2021 he batted a .294! The Marlins are currently 9 games behind the Braves, sitting in second place. If the season ended today they would have a wildcard spot.

Currently sitting in third place are the Philadelphia

Phillies. They also only have one representative in the all-star game with Nick Castellanos, who was not even a part of the fan voting. Bryce Harper was the only player that the Phillies, the MLB, and fans seemed to notice.

Harper was in a close voting battle with DH J.D. Martinez for the designated hitter position. J.D. would squeeze past Harper and take the spot, leaving no Philly on the all star roster until the MLB selected him as a reserve. Castellanos is another player who is currently over the .300 mark at .316 which is good for top 5 in the MLB. This comes on the heels of a season in which he only batted .263 so that in and of itself should deserve recognition. The Mets as mentioned have the highest paid roster in all of baseball. With guys like Justin Verlander, Max Sherzer, Francisco Lindor, Pete Alonso, and more. It doesn’t take long to figure out where all the money went. Just like the old saying goes, all that glitters isn’t gold. The same holds true for this Mets team. Even though they have spent

the most money they are currently only four games out of last place! The only team behind them is the Washington Nationals and they are ranked 23rd by total payroll.

The Mets have one player also representing them in the all star Break and it’s in the form of first baseman Pete “Polar Bear” Alonso. Alonso currently has 25 home runs which is top three in baseball. Showing why he’s worthy of the title MLB all star.

Now even though all the teams in the NL East are not over .500 and the Nationals drag down the division as a whole. This division is still the toughest and most competitive in all of baseball.

Three teams are either in or on the edge of being in the postseason. The Mets are still probably the best on paper team and could turn things around in a flash. The NL East has 11 total players representing all five teams in the all star game which is more than any other division.

What division would you say is currently the top in baseball?
