No baseball today

Dec. 12, 2010. In the "100 year flood" of 1990, I think it was, I saw Beerbower Park completely under water, basically a lake. The pedestrian bridge over Sam's Canal washed away. First St. north of Mommsen was a river. It didn't help that Simpson had just clearcut the woods on Hospital Hill so the runoff was extra bad.

Simpson cut all those trees and then turned the site into a residential development (now on Oak Lane) originally and ironically named "Evergreen Heights." You could make this stuff up, but no one would believe you.
