“A man practices the art of adventure when he breaks the chain of routine and renews his life through reading new books, traveling to new places, making new friends, taking up new hobbies and adopting new viewpoints” ~Wilfred Peterson

A League of Their Own
Bosse Field, is a baseball stadium located in Evansville, Indiana. Built in 1915, it is the third oldest ballpark used for professional baseball on a regular basis in the country, surpassed only by Fenway Park (1912) in Boston and Wrigley Field (1914) in Chicago. (Wikipedia)
It's a grand adventure when you can travel to the local ball park and watch a baseball game with family. It's grander yet when we all could sit in the same stand and watch this game where it was played nearly 100 years ago. I have only a few memories of the this park and all are fond.
It's most recent claim to fame was the field used in the movie, A League of Their Own. Bosse Field is a hometown treasure.
My first was when we took the kid to an Evansville Triplets ball game in 1983. At that time they were the farm club for the Detroit Tigers. They became the Otters in 1995 and in 1997 our son, Wes, was the trainer for the team two years.

Oops. I may not have done that quite right, but I thought I'd share our 4th of July journey.
ReplyDeleteWe love a crazy game of baseball around here played with whoever's willing to participate. My son always treats himself to one of the "big" games in either Boston or New York. I don't do that; I'd far rather sit in this quaint ball park and watch a game.
Baseball as it should be!
