open air There was no place to park Every lot was The game was to start at so we bad arrived a half hour or so ahead of tune we would have plenty of tune I never dreamed baseball would be this popular on a Tuesday evening Eric muttered as we drove past yet another sorry lot full and this in Next time we come at sis Three I suggested we parked a mile away and took a streetcar the rest of the way The was open the next day and It was exciting walking through the grounds to the stadium The atmosphere was as thick as fog A scarred much painted pitted railing alongside one of the midway rides was receiving yet another coat of paint by man who could be nothing else but We seemed to walk around the entire stadium before we found our gate At least there were no lineups to get in We found our seats and had to dislodgellor The game bad already started The place wo packed People sure come early to these games we Itwasbarely7 30 Suddenly the huge television announced the Seventh Inning Stretch and everyone leapt to their and began to twist and reach their arms over their beads We sideeyed each other in amazement and bewilderment Surreptitiously we checked our tickets Yes the date was correct Starting time was7 30pm a with Ksre Parker We did a few stretches and decided to ask someone what was going on Enc had tapped the nearest comely lady before I had a chance to ask anyone anything all was explained It was an un scheduled doubleheader and this the first game started at We settled in to enjoy the game The Blue Jays and Cleveland were tied Now I know baseball I used to rush home every day after school during the World Series when the Yankees were Mickey Mantle and Roger Maris and BUI I pitched for the North Bay Girls Soft ball team and my biggest claim to fame was having wrists smaller than the narrowest part of the baseball bat Yes I know baseball But the setting has It got dark but the stadium stayed daytime In North Bay we had outdoor lights for night time play but they never all worked at once Some flickered and threw weird over the outfield Thlrdbasewassodark it was scary And the Blue Jays were playing on a carpet I can remember the Yankees rubbing the ball in the soft green grass for good luck Grass stains on knees or hips were a prestige Item You could pick a few blades of grass and chew on them if the game got boring Those days are gone A sea
