I no longer hate baseball. Watching what has happened to the Mets and their seeming inability to stay healthy and or win has killed the joy of watching the sport I love more than any other.
Or, at least I thought it did.
Last night, I visited Huntington Park in Columbus to watch the Columbus Clippers play the Durham Bulls, and I had a ball. It was fun to just sit back and watch two teams just play, and not have a vested interest in who won. It was so relaxing being with a crowd that was just interested in having fun, and not at all interested in denigrating overpaid millionaire athletes.
Huntington Park is everything CitiField should be – in the middle of a revitalized downtown area – wide open concourses – amazing ribs down the left field line (last night was buck a bone night) there are holes in the outfield fence, so people on the street could even watch… Did I mention the great ribs?
