I'm with you. Until the sad but inevitable day when the Cubs are moved to the modern-era plastic stadium in the name of the Holy Network, I'll rejoice in day games in sunshine on real grass and ball-eating vines (thanks, Bill Veeck!). A team should not have to be relocated just to satisfy the Madison Avenue fat cats and Peter Profit. (Yes, I hear the flames acomin', especially from myopic Mets--go on, make my day. :-( ) Football compromised itself irrevocably with the Superbowl warm weather site philosophy; watch the prostitution continue when *all* playoff or championship games are moved to "alternative" sites because the weather or the kickbacks aren't right!. Well, Tim, the forlorn truth is that someday day ball, real grass, and playing in your own park will someday be viewed as historical curiosities along with horse hide baseballs, wooden bats, and fallible but human umpires. --Jeff "It's a great day to play two" Shore, alive and well in the (temporarily) AAA city of Denver
