Thank you for this. As a Worcester native it warmed my soul to see these hopeful reflections from a day at the park.

I like the connection to local communities. Every indigenous culture had the community interest at heart. I grew up in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. We had a double A team. I shagged foul balls. It was a happening and a source of community pride. I hope we can live together more harmoniously again

Thanks Sally. I hope many more cities, villages, neighborhoods and families find their own version of a Woosox stadium - bringing people TOGETHER when so much divides.
