And So It Begins

The Mister and I are out of town this week, so posting will be light. But The Water Expert is on the spot, and he sent some pictures and commentary from the groundbreaking ceremonies this morning of Big League Dreams:

These are the pictures I took this morning from the Ceremony at Big League Dreams going in off Elliot between Recker and Power next to our Highland Groves. It was a pretty good turnout as you will see. I got to meet Bill Russell from the LA Dodgers and had him sign a baseball for our office. He will be doing a lot of promoting for the company. He said he is in charge of the fund raising, camps, clinics, coordinating sports stars to come to the facility, father and son games etc...

They said the park should be open in about a year; we know how that goes (always takes longer). The park will recreate 8 major league fields those being: our very own Chase Field, Wrigley Field, Sportsman's Field, Ebbets Field, Fenway Park, Polo Grounds, Angels Stadium and Yankee Stadium. They will have 2 indoor Stadium Clubs, 8 Station batting cages, Indoor Multi-Sport Pavilion, Playground and a Corporate Events Area.

It should be a nice addition to the Town of Gilbert. If you want more information about it check out their website at www.bigleaguedreams.com.
