Doing the limbo on the Monroe ballpark

A baseball stadium that had been proposed for Monroe appears a no-go. Or, perhaps it remains a live proposition — I guess it depends on whom you talk with.

We talked (meaning The Cranbury Press) with the township, who says the ballpark is off the table, and Steve Kalafer, owner of the Somerset Patriots and prospective owner of the new Monroe team, who says it is still alive.

But we didn’t talk with Jack Morris of Edgewood Properties, who owns the site. It’s not because we didn’t try. We probably left a dozen messages at either his real estate firm or the PR firm that represents him starting on Tuesday — but as of late Thursday, we hadn’t received word back.

So, the ballpark plan, as our headline says, is in limbo.
