Some light unpacking today. None of the historical items warrant a deep dig but there were a few notable happenings. A couple of associated links and a vid or two for you.

Today in baseball history:

  • 1912 - Redland Field, the steel and concrete ballpark named to match the team’s moniker and hue, makes its debut with the hometown Reds beating Chicago, 10-6. In 1934, the Cincinnati ballpark will become known as Crosley Field in honor of the team owner Powel Crosley.
