"...The one constant through all the years has been baseball. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It has been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt and erased again. But baseball has marked the time. This field, this game: it's a part of our past. It reminds us of all that once was good and it could be again. Oh, people will come...People will most definitely come."
This cache celebrates America's Pastime - and, like Terrence Mann's quote above, also celebrates the new and possibly some that has been forgotten a little bit. Please leave baseball related SWAG if at all possible. There is plenty of room for it. This cache is starting with many items in it, a lot of which could be considered a "FTF Award". Just take what makes you happy. Be mindful of Muggles if there are any around. BYOP (For now. I forgot to put one in there)
The cache is not at the listed coordinates. You will travel there to find information that will bring you to the final cache coordinates. Once at the final coordinates, you will need to know two numbers to open a lock:
1. Jackie Robinson
2. The last two digits of a special year associated with him.

Do yourselves a favor and go see a ball game this summer. And don't forget the Cracker Jacks.
NOTE!! There is a line on the face of the lock where the numbers line up. They do not line up on the narrow part of it. If you get the numbers correct and on the line the lock opens up quite nicely. There is no need to force it. The trick of the puzzle is to solve the clues and unlock the combination legitimately, not to see if you can pry your way in without breaking anything.
