Our Baseball Field

When I first stepped foot on Sidney's baseball field I was awed by its size. Before I had the privilege to play on this new gigantic field I was restricted to playing on smaller, more generic fields. At the age thirteen I made the move to this enormous field. Being able to play on the "big kid field" I experienced a coming of age. The field itself is generally like most other fields, but certain characteristics such as the bleachers and dugouts make it unique.

From a distance the bleachers are the first things that you notice. They stand out because of their blue and yellow awkwardly painted colors. The rest of the field and the players' uniforms carry the red black and gray Sidney colors. A blue metal railing and wooden ramp leads up to the main wooden walkway, and then to the wooden center aisle steps of the bleachers. The fiberglass seats painted alternately the ugly blue and yellow, are faded from years of wear.

White wooden planks fold down on metal hinges to protect the large windows. The fence on the black dugouts sits just slightly above half way up, short enough to lean over and cheer yet tall enough to protect you from a foul ball. Even though there are flaws and inconviences, it is still my favorite field and I am proud to play on it. This structure is made out of cheap blue thin tin. Countless numbers of batters each year bear wounds from getting hit by this unpredictable machine.
