Hooray! Baseball is back.. at least for the present moment. So I figured we better do this story while the game is on, albeit with a different look and feel. I won’t be posing with any mascots, big bummer. But I am getting somewhat used to it. How about you?

No big crowds under the lights at Progressive Field, home of the Cleveland Indians.

This would be a more accurate look, PNC Park, home of the Pittsburgh Pirates.

I had a private tour of the park three years ago. This is the bullpen phone. Calling out there in an empty park, you can actually hear it ring way out there. “Where did you go, Joe DiMaggio?…”
I really miss seeing the kids and the wonder and excitement they experience and generate at a day at the old ballpark, in this case, old Yankee Stadium, July, 2008.
