What could be more beautiful, or more American, than
walking to a baseball game? Last night was my first visit to Huntington Park,
home of the Columbus Clippers minor league baseball team. While I don’t know much about
pitchouts or pickoffs, it was hard to resist the friendly charisma of this
year-old 10,000-person-capacity ballpark. It’s warm, cleanly constructed, and
exciting from all angles. Just like the city in which it resides, it’s wholeheartedly accessible.
The hot dogs were juicy, the kids were wide-eyed, and
the heckling was plentiful. Plus for a mere six dollars, you can buy a general admission ticket and watch all of the action from the outfield
berm, sports bars, or various picnic tables lining the park. Nothing beats
that snappity crack of the bat echoing out amongst the stands into the
eardrums of every spectator. Because that is the sound of summer.







I'm glad you enjoyed the game!
Do you use a plugin for your fun photo collections? I would love to know the name, if so.

You forgot to talk about the outcome of the game.
Mustard lost.

Yes, mustard loss in a grueling race against slick ketchup and wily relish. But the Clippers won.
