Where We Are

The ballpark is in Eastlake, Ohio. It's pretty sad when the second paragraph for your city on Wikipedia mentions you were the cause for the infamous 2003 North America blackout.

The hotel was in Mentor, Ohio. The 20th President of the United States, James Garfield, lived in Mentor and launched his campaign here. After the game yesterday, I spent some time at Headlands Beach State Park, the longest natural beach on Lake Erie.

This is special only for today. Katie Spotz from nearby Mentor recently rowed across the Atlantic Ocean. This is the boat that she used, and it is on display today at Classic Park. More information on Katie's journey can be found here.


This is a shot down the left field corner. Matt Helm hit his home run on Friday night into the last row of bleachers above the white powerball sign on the wall.


The right field corner. The building beyond the wall is the batting cages. The white tent is a picnic area in right field. Not visible in this photo..if you go past the tent and to the right of the batting cages, that is where both clubhouses are located. You get to the field through a gate to the right of the foul pole.

Finally, this is a structure outside the stadium. Go through the walkway, down the steps, and then you have to go back up the steps and through the overpass to get to the parking lot. The overpass goes over a four lane road, and it's easier to build something overtop of it than it is to try and have people cross every night after the game.

The team store on the third base side. Everything at the ballpark has a "ship" theme to it.


The view from the concourse behind home plate. This is going to be the photo for the game story on www.silverhawks.com later today.


The press box. I sit in the two windows below the CAP of Captains. If you look closely, you can see that the window on the right is open. That's my window.


A shot of the seating arrangement on the third base side. The first base side is identical.

My view from the visiting radio booth. Not too shabby!
