Also watch games in the park occasionally, and it's really cool. Seems they were pitching from 60.5 ft though, which I'd though came in in/around 1893... Regardless, don't care much about those details, just cool to see them in the wool unis, having fun, drinking some beer and playing clean ball. I thought about trying to play, but currently am on the road too much. I did go down and swing their bats once.. And wow! Those bats truly are lumber, while today's are twigs.
