By QNS Editorial Posted on March 8, 2012

A street renaming ceremony sponsored by City Council Member Jimmy Van Bramer will be held on Saturday, Mar. 10 at 11 a.m. at 43rd Street and 48th Avenue in Sunnyside to honor the Winged Fist Organization. The group was known as the Winged Fists of Celtic Park; their accomplishments included winning over 56 Olympic medals for the United States. The street is the site of the former Celtic Park Stadium which was demolished in 1930 for the construction of the Celtic Park apartments, which retained the stadium’s name.
