Making It Up as They Go Along

The story on MLB’s website said the ballpark that’s going up for the White Sox-Yankees game next August in Iowa will have design elements that “pay homage to Comiskey Park.”  And why, pray tell, is that, given how the Sox insisted certain design elements were the reason they wanted to tear down their classic ballpark in the first place? 

Sox owner Jerry Reinsdorf should insist on the inclusion of sight-obstructing posts throughout the cornfield venue; Reinsdorf hated those at his ballpark the way head groundskeeper Roger Bossard must hate weeds.  Instead, Reinsdorf releases a statement about what an honor it is to be the “home team against the Yankees in a special setting that will capture everyone’s imagination, just like the movie [“Field of Dreams”] does.”

The posts, Jerry, the posts.
