When ballpark memories ferment

Aug. 3, 2018

I parked in the lot across the street from the cemetery. The old branches that arch over the tombstones and the gravel pathway cast fractal shadows as I walked to the stadium, turning right on to 9th St, then left onto Eagle Avenue and the stadium plaza. It’s always tricky here — the flow of the crowd is turbulent as groups dart across and individuals dive back from the gates. I navigated against this current to the furthest-right gate, waited in line, and entered Progressive Field from above center field.

The view is a bit blocked by the Fox Sports Ohio booth, but it’s easy to get a great look from above the bullpens, Heritage Park, or anywhere around the concourse, really.
