My Game At Chase Field
It looks big as you approach it, as I did on a late Sunday morning not too long ago. My first look revealed what appeared to be a large rectangle topped by an immense, half moon made of steel. I knew I was about to experience something completely different from
Remembering Shea Stadium
I just published a “guest” blog post at “C70 At The Bat” for my friend, Missouri resident and and Cardinals fan, Daniel “Champ” Shoptaw, who is on holiday for two weeks and has asked a number of bloggers to keep his blog active while he is camping. I was honored
Nationals Park
