In a destroyed ballpark. That’s where it was, in New York. It was at the destruction site, underneath the new hotel. No one knew where it was except Josh. This magical piece of history was the first baseball that Rickey Smith hit. Yes, the Rickey Smith. Josh knew that soon, he’d would hold that ball and get it to a museum. Forget the Honus Wagner card, because this was true value. Josh and his long-time best friend Ben arranged a plan that they would get a room on the lowest floor at the hotel. The two had always shared a love for baseball history. Once they got a room, they would begin digging. The thought of digging illegally scared Josh, but he knew there was always a high reward for finding any prize.

Around first grade, Ramaz Lower School took a trip to a Mets game. The roar of the crowd nearly deafened me, but I’d never felt more alive. The crack of the bat was addictive and the general camaraderie in Shea Stadium was intoxicating. Within the first three innings, I knew I’d found something special. After the game, my classmate, Jack, came up to me with claims the Mets were the best team ever and the Yankees “sucked.” Naturally, I became a die-hard Yankees fan.

Since its creation, baseball has taken the top spot as the nation’s favorite recreation. For generations it filled the homes of Americans whether it be via television, conversation, or participation. Families would travel together to their local baseball stadium and root for the home team. Kids would organize games at their local baseball field and play until dark. Stars like Babe Ruth and Joe DiMaggio were idols to fans, both young and old. It was evident that baseball was in the peoples hearts and truly was America’s pastime.

Going to a game in Fenway is a smorgasbord of delightful feelings. Even the walk up to the ballpark is some thing to behold. Walking with hundreds of passionate fans, all decked out in their red sox T-shirts, jerseys, and of coarse that iconic navy hat with the red B on it. I feel like I belong there with this organized group of strangers. There is such a since of family as I see people from the “T” car I was on and chatted with. A few hundred yards ahead I could hear a “Lets Go Red Sox” chant as people around me began to join in

Wrigley is like an apartment building or a home in the community, and as a player you really have to be a part of that. Unlike other parks where the park is usually off the downtown area, you zip right in and watch the game and then zip right out to the expressway.

To make the situation even worse, the dumbfounded owners and greedy sports agents who contaminate the game and the talented young athletes playing in it, control this business.

When I went to the stadium, the Arizona Diamondbacks were about to play against Colorado Rockies (CR). The game happened at the Arizona Diamondbacks’ stadium, Chase Field, Phoenix, Arizona. By collaborating with the Arizona Downtown Phoenix police, there some police guards to insured the security of the fans.
