MOUNTAINSIDE—With tales from his Little League youth—the long-standing rivalries between Peterstown and E’port, the mandatory Italian ice breaks—Ben Candelino had them laughing in the aisles.
Candelino and his younger brother Anthony, two of the legends of Elizabeth baseball, were among those honored recently by the Union County Baseball Association’s 73rd annual Hot Stove League dinner at L’Affaire in Mountainside.
The Candelino brothers, along with former Summit recreation director and baseball coach Dom Guida, who died in September, and Gov Livingston High School’s Bill Howard, were inducted into the association’s Hall of Fame.
