I took this shot on opening day for the Toledo Mud Hens, they are the local baseball team that has won the championship title now twice, back to back even. Anyways, these statues were created to add that special warmth feeling of kids back in the day sneaking a peak of one of the many baseball games. The shadow that they cast is one that has me wondering how many kids in the past growing up have actually gone to see the game and ended up getting sun burned by standing there for too long. You know that most ball parks had fences with a few too many holes :)
Or when a shadow would form just above theirs and they knew that it wasn't another buddy of theirs joining in on the fun but that of a police officer wondering why these kids aren't behaving themselves.
Join in on the fun every week.

Good photo and nice backstory to the shadow theme!
I like that statue a lot. It's very inclusive, too, so that's cool. It just reminds me of the past.
