TRIVIA OF THE DAY
Visit Hoglund Ballpark to relax
COMMENTARY

H ogglund Ballpark: An on-campus escape that you may have never visited.
You don't need to know how to fill out a double-play in the scorecard or tell the difference between a curveball and a slider. Just give the ballpark a try. A baseball game midday at Hoglund Ballpark is an experience that exists on and off the diamond field.
Students get in free by flashing a KU ID. Then you take your seat in the bleachers and it all begins.
BY MAX ROTHMAN
mrothman@kansan.com
The wind brushes your cheeks as you gaze upon a neat field of green turf, russet dirt and white boundary lines.
A young boy with eyes focused on the field holds a mitt and listens closely as his father teaches him the rules of the game. Another boy shouts "free magnets!" as he stows the souvenirs and returns to his family a few rows back.
Sunflower seeds crackle and form black and white mounds under the spitter's feet. Bronzed legs dangle over seats and move only for a snack and drink in between innings. Backs recline and sandals slip off as barefoot fans bask in ballpark sunshine. A lone loyalist belows repetitive chants for numbers and names - stopping only after the final pitch is thrown. Students with sunglasses casually roll in and out of the ballpark as they please
does it lack complexity. If you can appreciate the strategies, the signals and the spit, you may be better off than the clueless observer. But with a game that goes pitch by pitch under the radiant sun, no matter your knowledge of the game, Hoglund Ballpark can function as an easy way to escape the usual rush of the student lifestyle.
Spinning baseballs smack open mitts. Aluminum bats spray baseballs to all crevices of the expansive outfield. Coaches bark orders. Umpires roar and pump fists as they ring up a still strikeout victim.
Trees flutter behind the curved blue outfield fence. Spectators chomp on hot dogs drizzled with ketchup and mustard, and covered in relish and sauerkraut. They dip stacked corn chips into a pool of nacho cheese. A bespac-tailed girl and her kid sister race around the ballpark after every foul ball, no matter how great the distance from their seats. Each ball is the finest treasure a wide-eyed youngster
could ever have.
Get a few friends together, grab a cap and head out to the ballpark for a weekend day game. Relax in the stands and experience a game incomparable to any other.
