I really regretted never seeing a ball game there, and that forced me to recognize what we have here. Yes, there are uncomfortable quirks, but they're outweighed by the charm and history. And the new ownership has done a fantastic job redoing the ballpark. I hope the efforts don't suffer from the departure of Janet Marie Smith.
