Big Baseball Fan here. Probably could even be said a Historian of the game. Been a passion of mine for 50 years. Have tons of books and memorabilia I've collected through the years. Cards, world Series Programs, Autographed baseballs and team autographs on game hats and balls.
I live in NE Ohio...The "Jake" is a great park.....so is PNC Park in Pittsburgh....it's a throwback.
Three rivers was a Concrete Bowl....and Municipal Stadium in Cleveland was a pile of debris a best.
But....one thing I do remember. As a young Lad going to Forbes Field in Pittsburgh. Walking to my seat and seeing the Field for the first time....immediately I knew that Baseball was played there. Honus Wagner....Roberto Clemente....the Waner Brothers, Mazeroski....Ralph Kiner and the list goes on. The Pittsburgh Pirates in 1927 watching the New York Yankees take batting practice. Some say when the Pirates saw the Yankees taking batting practice the Series was lost at that point. The stories that Forbes Field, Wrigley, Yankee Stadium and Fenway Parks could tell. We need them and most longtime baseball Fans from any city don't want these bastions of Baseball History torn down to satisfy the new breed of greedy owners and just as greedy players. The game is owned by the Fan!
