HAPPY 4TH OF JULY TO MY AMERICAN READERS!!

June 2016 - Pittsburgh PA


John went to the US Open in Pittsburgh last week. He spent  some time wandering downtown around the PNC Park, home of the Pittsburgh Pirates.

"Take Me Out to the Ball Game" is a 1908 Tin Pan Alley song by Jack Norworth and Albert Von Tilzer which has become the unofficial anthem of North American baseball, although neither of its authors had attended a game prior to writing the song. The song (chorus only) is traditionally sung during the middle of the seventh inning of a baseball game. Fans are generally encouraged to sing along, and at some ballparks, the words "home team" are replaced with the team name.

This, in turn, reminded me of our visit to Fenway Park in Boston.

"Sweet Caroline" has been played at Fenway Park, home of Major League Baseball's Boston Red Sox, since at least 1997, and in the middle of the eighth inning at every game since 2002.

The Make Way for Ducklings sculpture is the Boston Public Garden's most famous attraction. The statues of Mrs. Mallard and her 8 ducklings attract visitors from all over the world to this beautiful Victorian-era park right in the middle of the city.


Inspired by Robert McCluskey's book about Mr. and Mrs. Mallard and their adventures while finding a safe place to hatch and raise their offspring in and around the Public Garden.


Boston-area sculptor Nancy Schön designed the bronze duck sculpture.
