Trump Rally Comes To Seaside Heights Boardwalk
Todd Frazier Will Be A Met Again
─Photo by Bob Vosseller Flag waving and some chanting was part of a march for the 45th president of the United States on the boardwalk of Seaside Heights recently. By Bob Vosseller SEASIDE HEIGHTS – With Election Day right around the corner and the presidential race heating up with a barrage of commercials following the two major party conventions, some suppor ters of Donald J. Trump came out to express their support on the borough boardwalk. It was described as a spontaneous rally with
no organizing leader stepping forward, though that didn’t stop about 40 people from marching along the boardwal k wear i ng Trump hats, T-shirts, pins and carrying flags and banners. Supporters saw a short message that was circulating on social media and while there were no speeches ma de, they weren’t shy about communicating why
they felt the president deserved another four years in office. Ted and Nancy Peterson learned about the event and knew they had to attend. The couple from Toms River sported shirts and hats that proclaimed their support of President Trump. “He’s for the little guy. He’s for us, for the Americans. A lot of times I think he is demonized. They twist
his words and make him sound like he’s not for us but for Russia or China or somewhere else and he’s not,” Nancy Peterson said. “We want to show our support because while a lot of people do support him many are afraid to show it,” she added, noting that while she had her pink “2020 Make America Great Again” ball cap (Parade - See Page 7)

By Chris Lundy TOMS RIVER – Todd Frazier is moving back to “New York, New York.” The local sports hero, who makes it a habit to have Frank Sinatra playing when he’s at bat, will be returning to the Mets. “It’s been real @rangers. I want to thank you guys for everything. I got to meet and play with some great people in Arlington. I will definitely miss them. With that being said, we got some unfinished business in Queens,” he posted on social media. Frazier was part of the 1998 Little League World Series-winning team in Toms River. He went on to star wherever he played: Toms River High School South, Rutgers University, the Cincinnati Reds, the Chicago White Sox, the New York Yankees and then the New York Mets. After spending two years with the Mets, he was brought to the Texas Rangers for one year. Now, it’s back to New York, and back to the Mets. According to ESPN, the Mets acquired Frazier and catcher Robinson Chirinos from the Rangers. As of press time, the two players traded to the Rangers were not named. “We’re not playing great baseball right (Mets - See Page 4)
