I stare out the window and wait for spring."– Rogers HornsbyExplore the Site This site currently contains ![]() Reflections on the last days of a bad baseball place. 78 pages, with over 50 full color images.

Home plate don't move."– Satchel Paige"No matter how good you are, you're going to lose one-third of your games. No matter how bad you are you're going to win one-third of your games. It's the other third that makes the difference."– Tommy LasordaRandom Image ![]() Jose Alvalade XXI Stadium in Lisbon, Portugal has towers much like I'm imagining to hold up our canopy while also making a bold statement on the horizon

"I see great things in baseball. It's our game - the American game. It will take our people out-of-doors, fill them with oxygen, give them a larger physical stoicism.

I don't think they could have realistically created such a thing.
