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.
Last night though it was just a "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" night. Great fun including catching that elusive ball in the stand!!! Way to go, Dave!!! Caught bare-handed! Singing, clapping, cheering, and just plain having a ball! Last night was a treasured memory.

Sometimes, during my hours of prayer, I picture myself as a piece of stone before a sculpture who intends to make a statue our of it. Presenting myself like this before the Lord, I beg him to form form in my soul his perfect image and make me wholly like Christ. ~Brother Lawrence~
