The county stadium on Mound Street has been home to baseball in Columbus since 1932. The Clippers will play their last game there tonight; next year, the team will move to the new Huntington Park in the Arena District.
A ballpark exists beyond the bricks, mortar and steel. I’ve felt the heartbeat of an awakening Cooper Stadium three hours before the first pitch and heard the quiet breathing of the place as it bedded down well past midnight. Ghosts, maybe; place memory, perhaps, but the sensations always comforted me. I don’t think I’m alone. The stories are what bind us.
