The Mets may not have clinched the World Series, but the Redbirds — Local 237’s softball league comprised of NYCHA employees — won the softball tournament sponsored by the MTA on October 6. NYCHA’s team was invited to join the well-established, 40-year-old league just a few years ago. “After coming in second last year, the team worked really hard for this win,” said player- manager Steven Perez, Housing Assistant in Leased Housing, “and I am really proud of them.” We all are!
