  5. Usually in the afternoon (1-3ish maybe). Saturdays for sure. I have been seeing them out there for over a month now.

  6. The shot from home plate is excellent! As a long time backstop for school and summer baseball teams, that is a view I remember fondly... but haven't seen for 30+ years. Thanks for the memory refresher.

  7. Jim Abbott struck me out on 3 straight pitches right there. Maybe I was admiring the view..

Thanks for commenting. I moderate comments, so it may take a while for your comment to appear. You might enjoy my book about Flint called "Teardown: Memoir of a Vanishing City," a Michigan Notable Book for 2014 and a finalist for the 33rd Annual Northern California Book Award for Creative NonFiction. Filmmaker Michael Moore described Teardown as "a brilliant chronicle of the Mad Maxization of a once-great American city." More information about Teardown is available at www.teardownbook.com.
