Tonight I have two more signs of baseball. These come to you from Harrisburg, PA, Commerce Bank Park on City Island, home of the Harrisburg Senators, AA affiliate of the Washington Nationals. One time minor league home of Vladimir Guerrero, Ryan Zimmerman, Mark Grudzielanek, Orlando Cabrera, Uggie Urbina, Brandon Phillips and Manager Jim Tracy. Lately though Harrisburg just isn't what they used to be, after years of MLB ownership of the Expos and the Nats, the farm system has been bottom of the barrel. Hopefully with new ownership in Washington the Senators can get back to their old winning ways (League champs 1993, 96, 97, 98 & 99). I'll go either way, sit up high, cheer them on and swap the mayflies. Root, root, root for the home team, it just fells like the right thing to do.
The top sign is posted along the field lines, the bottom is more than a sign, it is my son's game plan and outlook on baseball itself. Even if he never has a steak at the Ritz, he has never failed to indulge in a hot dog at every ballpark.
