... I could write a feature like these two. Both of these articles are about the same ballpark/team, which is just over the mountain from me. It's in the town in which my grandmother lives. I'm over there often enough--everyone makes up reasons to see a game there because the park is so nice.
More than rooting for the home team
Valley's diamond is a real gem
I'd love to be able to write features like these two. It's a skill I don't quite have...but the topic and treatment is for a different market than mine.
When you read the pieces, you'll get a feel for the love of the baseball and the history of the park. But you won't find anything about my Dad and my uncle and their scorekeeping at the park when they were growing up.
(Sorry, I don't have any pictures of the park to post.)
NOTE: When I test the links in the post, now I'm being told I have to register with the sites. So, if you want to try a different way, go to news.google.com and search "Mo Weber" (3rd result) and "valley diamond, gem" (1st result). That's at least what they were when I tried it.
