Geocache Description:

Updated version of the cache that was previously hidden here. This time you will have to solve the mystery/puzzle to make the find. There is lots of parking near the posted coords (which is NOT where the cache is located). Be especially alert for muggles all over the area. The cache is a micro, logbook only, BYOP. If you have trouble with this one don't write for a hint until you post a DNF detailing your effort.

Crestline is known for its youth baseball programs over the years. The original baseball field here was built in 1963. Many of us young baseball enthusiasts helped with the construction and sodding of the field. It was that same summer that all star teams from two neighboring states came to Crestline to play the Ohio champs composed of players from Crestline, New Washington and Ontario. The Ohio boys won the tourney and the right to continue to Hershey, PA for the National Teener League Tournament. It was a big deal.
Forty-nine years later the memories linger. Many of the now not so young men enjoy the nostalgia of  those glory days (before computer games) when summers were spent playing baseball all day long.
Now the puzzle ...  You have 3 choices depending on which state teams you think competed here for the honor of going to the National tournament.
