Default Re: Then and Now

About a month ago I went to Brea, CA and stopped by the area where Babe Ruth
and Walter Johnson played a barnstorming game on October 31,1924. The
old Brea Bowl is long gone now, replaced with residential track housing. The
following YouTube video is about 4:00 minutes long and provides a pretty
good background of the Brea Bowl and the game.

The following photos and flyer are the "Then and Now," 90 years difference.
Note the same hill formation in the background. The residential photo is
approximately where the old home plate used to be.
