When
deciding on which fields to recreate, we (Board
Members) all had our particular favorites. We
settled on a particular few because we hoped in
some small way to pass down a little history of
why the game was (and is) so special.
We agreed on
these parks because we believe they embrace and
represent
a special part of baseball history. A part
of baseball when, as a kid, sliding safe into
second feels just as good as rooting your
favorite team on to win (which was just
about as important).
These parks, like
most parks, have seen their share of famous
players, plays, and coaches over the years. Our
fields have already seen some of their own as
well.
Our hope is that
kids who use these fields today will be able to
come back with their kids someday and share some
of the same fun we’ve all had with our
kids.
