Craig Counsell Field

This is (obviously) Craig Counsell Field and is located in Buckeye, AZ. It was dedicated in 2006 as part of the Diamondbacks Field Building Program in which fields are built or improved upon in Arizona towns through a grant program to aid youth sports programs. Our Diamondbacks may not always play the best baseball, but they understand being  part of a community.

No Crying In Baseball

I'm away from the Valley taking care of some family matters for the next few weeks, and this photo is one of the photos I have taken on my trip.

This is Huntingburg League Stadium in Huntingburg, Indiana, where the baseball scenes in the movie, "A League of Their Own" were filmed.

Most of the stadium was built in the early 1990's as a set for the movie. The field and a small portion of the grandstand existed prior to the filming. The almost completely covered grandstand is made entirely of wood. Some of the artwork from the movie still exists today, including the Rockford Peaches sign below the scoreboard.

Dorothy "Dottie" Kamenshek, who was portrayed by Gina Davis, passed away on May 21st.

Take Me Out To The Ballgame

Baseball fans walk past a street musician on the way to the game. I remember years ago there was a banjo player and also a saxophone player. Perhaps they still play but on a different street.

Wednesday Doorway - Boys of Summer

In keeping with Tracy's recent post about spring training baseball,
this is a shot of the Cleveland Indians Team Shop. The games are
in full swing - pun intended.
