Quick walk near the stadium earlier, noticed the large ball commemorating Dave Parker's HOF induction is not yet installed. Statue-form Maz looks same as he ever was nearby. @sabrlandmarks.bsky.social

Bit of a @sabrlandmarks.bsky.social Field trip to Hoboken, NJ, took me to Elysian Fields recently, the "birthplace" of base ball (it's a little more complex than that). The first recorded game in Pittsburgh was played 12 years later, across from Gus and Yaya's stand (they weren't there yet). 🧵1/3
