When I was 12 years old the local Ohio all-stars got to parade around the entire Crosley Field in our respective unies. This was 1961 and the year the Reds won the pennant. We were playing shadow ball in the outfield and leaping against the fences to make phantom catches. I am sure the crowd thought we were nuts. I will always remember that day, dressed in my white uniform with gold and blue trim. The grass was emerald green and the day was gorgeous. I played a lot of baseball after that but that day was the best
BTW, no one answered my question (if anyone knows)- how many years does Fenway have left? Plans for a new park or is that all conjecture?
