Well, here we are in the year of COVID-19, the baseball season finally starts this week (at least the was the plan while I wrote up the cache discription). The Toronto Blue Jays still had no home ballpark and the season is just 60 games. And the Midwest League, of which our local TinCaps are member, is not playing at all this season. Still, we're supposed to have baseball this week. No fans in the parks, just players, umpires and other essential personnel.
Originally I was going to make this a puzzle cache based on double play combinations. I decided instead to just put this out as a traditional. There's a ballpark here. I believe it's the home field for North Side High School. It carries the name Carrington Field. It's actually the third Carrington Field. The first was at Johnny Appleseed Park and in a land swap between the city and county it was torn down to make Memorial Stadium. Carrington Field moved across Coliseum Boulevard and was there for a number of years before the university decided it needed the land and Carrington Field came out here between the former KMart store and the former Lakeside Golf Course. Red Carrington, for whom the field is named, was a promoter of amateur baseball in the area, particullarly at the high school and college levels.
So, in honor of the start of the major league baseball season this week, I've put out a cache near Carrington Field, just off the path. It's magnetic. Don't try to get it from Coliseum Boulevard. Park at the parking coordinates and head down the path. Or ride your bike.
