Jan. 11, 2023: In 2022, Bronxville athletes were recognized at the local, state and national level. Some of the top sports stories last year focused on Bronco achievements and awards, state championships, college signings, and national rankings.
In pro sports, Bronxville was put on the map last year when Bronxville native Harrison Bader was traded to the Yankees in July. Bader, who did not play until September because of an injury, showed his worth in the playoffs with a .333 batting average and five homeruns.
