Story #32, 33, 34 -- Banner Island Ballpark (in print)


My adventure in Stockton, Calif., concludes today with a trio of stories in this week's Farm's Almanac's 'On Location' section on MiLB.com. Now this isn't to say that someday, somewhere I may write another story or make another visit to Stockton, but I'm guessing it won't be any time soon. So get your fill now, people, via the links below:

Click here for my perspective on Banner Island Ballpark. OK, it's more like a general rundown of the ballpark, but it's still interesting, I promise. Also, my editor informed me that I may be the first person in the history of MiLB.com to use the phrase 'tasty vittles,' on the Web site. I told you all I'm going to make history out here, ha.

Click here for Ports radio announcer Zack Bayrouty's take on Banner Island Ballpark. Bayrouty's a great guy, very helpful and in a great position to kick-start an amazing career. I'd like to take this opportunity to give him all my best.

Click here for Carolina League star Jason Delaney's take on Banner Island Ballpark. Delaney said that the Carolina League All-Stars left at 5 a.m. PCT the day after the game, and that he didn't arrive back into his apartment until 1 a.m. EST. I told him I felt for him. That sucks.

(Feel free to check out the previous post for pictures that will make some of the things I talk about in these stories come alive.)
