The casket of Ty Patrick Flood is placed into a hearse outside of St. Aidan’s Church in Williston Park.
In the game of baseball, there are three true outcomes. When Ty Patrick Flood was at bat in the Williston Park Little League, more often than not there were only two, a walk or strikeout. Except for one day, when he made contact down the third baseline. Flood, who was diagnosed with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy when he was about 5 years old, ran to first before realizing the ball was overthrown into right field. He made it
to second, before realizing again the right fielder had missed his middle infielder and the ball sailed into left field. Ty was at third. He was at home. A home run for Ty Patrick Flood. It was probably the first time the other team was cheering for an opponent, as loudly as Flood’s teammates and family, said Ty’s Uncle Thomas on Friday at St. Aidan’s Church on Willis Avenue, where his funeral services were held. Flood, 17, died April 21. Continued on Page 45
