This Isn't the California Penal League... Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

MolsonBlue2001: I had the replacement ready to go, but there just is not a spot to place the container type anywhere near the coordinates. A bummer to let this good idea go.

Geocache Description:

This cache brings you to the Village of Lisle-Benedictine University Sports Complex.


The complex can accomodate lacrosse, football, softball, soccer, and of based on the cache name, baseball of course.

The baseball stadium has a seating capacity of 1,100. Three hundred thirty feet down the left-field line and 315 feet to right, the diamond is 400 feet to straightaway center and 360 feet to power alleys.

Stealth is certainly required when games are being played on the baseball or softball field at the compex. However, no need to enter the gates in order to find this cache.

The DuPage County Hounds play their games at this venue. The Hounds are a part of the Midwest Collegiate League, a summer league for college baseball players, which uses wooden bats. I have taken my kids to a few of the games over the years and noticed that there were not any caches in the area, so why not add one and make it baseball themed as well.

I can't imagine that Ricky Vaughn ever would have played in the Midwest Collegiate League, but I can imagine that Lou Brown could have easily been a manager in the league (probably a proving ground for the Toledo Mudhens).

The Hounds games do not have Harry Doyle in the press box calling the game, but there is only one Harry Doyle:

"Haywood swings and crushes this one towrd South America. Tomlinson is gonna need a Visa to catch this one, it is out of here, and there is nothing left but a vapor trail."

"In case you haven't noticed, and judging by the attendance you haven't, the Indians have managed to win a few here and there, and are threatening to climb out of the cellar."

You are looking for a small lock-and-lock container that has camo tape on it. There is a log in the cache that fits with the cache and room for some other small items with the log. BYOP as there was not any room.
