My wife and I have had the pleasure of attending a few baseball games so far this year and intend to attend many more. We did not hear anyone say they were upset that the stadium wasn’t completed, we did not hear anyone say they were fearful for their lives to be downtown, we heard no complaints about parking, traffic or any other reason the naysayers want to throw out there.

What we did hear was; what are you doing after the game? We’re going to Sam & Tonys, Harp & Fiddle, White Rose, Left Bank, etc. None of these people were afraid to stay in town after dark. What did we witness? Young families with children in tow, smiling faces, gloves in hand, excitement, young and old together for one reason – baseball. It didn’t matter if we won or lost. All that matters is that York City now has an affordable venue for family time. And what is wrong with that?

Perhaps if the whiners would invest as much time in positive action, they might actually enjoy themselves. But then they couldn’t be themselves, could they?

I want to thank Keystone Baseball and everyone involved for having the vision and determination to make this stadium a reality. Revolutionary things are taking place within the city and I don’t mean just baseball.
