The baseballs are lined up neatly, row after row, each in its own glass cubbyhole. At first glance, the display at Whitman [MA] Town Park looks like a trophy case, but a closer look reveals a more somber tribute: "Sgt. Michael L. Tosto, 6-17-03," "Pfc. Jason C. Ludlam, 3-19-04," "Sgt. Darrin K. Potter, 9-29-03." A memorial to the soldiers killed in the war in Iraq, the display is housed in a simple glass case 16 feet long and 6 feet high and stands just off the field of play on a ballfield in this suburb about 25 miles south of Boston.
