In Friday's USA Today,the travel section was titled "10 great places for a baseball pilgrimage." Casper's own Mike Lansing Field was one of the ten. They liked the layout which features seats close to the field (mine was/is in the second row just to the right of home plate-it actually still is because they wouldn't refund my money when I renewed my ticket last fall and then found out I was moving). They also liked the wide open spaces where a fan can watch deer and antelope grazing on the hillside beyond the outfield fences. The locales range from NY to California, Washington state to Florida, a couple of Midwestern stadiums, and, of course, the one in Casper Wyoming.
I have actually been in three of the stadiums:
1. Mike Lansing Field in Casper naturally
2. Fifth Third Field in Toledo, Ohio (I think it's named for a bank)
3. AT&T Bricktown Ballpark in Oklahoma City.
One of the things I will miss about Casper is sitting with my friends so many evenings during the summer and early fall. There's nothing like baseball. I just hope the Casper Ghosts win a few more games and eventually send players to the parent club-the Colorado Rockies.
