Masked behind the aging oak trees covered in moss, and past the emerald waters of the panhandle, stands a white mansion that reveals the history of the local of Point Washington area. A large, white, almost plantation-style home is the focal point of Eden Gardens State Park, and a symbol of the legacy of the family. Large centuries-old oak trees embellish the land surrounding the house, making it a pivotal icon of the nature left untouched. The house itself contains hundreds of years of memories, and the land that occupies the area encompasses an even larger spectrum of Florida history. Once the site of a family lumber mill business in the late 1880’s, today it stands unnoticed as a legacy in the South Walton area of Florida.

One of the biggest events that really sparked the start of the new interest of baseball was the building of the new New York Yankee stadium.

The Los Angeles Dodgers and San Francisco Giants have been two of the oldest teams to play at a pro level, both established in 1883 in New York. The Giants were originally known as the New York Gothams and then became the New York Giants in 1886, and the Dodgers were originally the Brooklyn Atlantics and changed to the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1932. In 1958 they would both move to California and the Giants would go to San Francisco and the Dodgers, Los Angeles.

Candlestick Park (former home of the San Francisco 49ers) stood strong for a memorable 43 years. Its rich history will remain with the NFL, the 49ers organization, and the community of San Francisco forever. 43 years is a significant amount of time for a stadium to try and remain highly efficient though. From 1997-2007, the 49ers owner, Jed York, knew a plan would have to be drafted up for building a new stadium. Although they never made the next step in opening up negotiations during that time, York knew the 49ers would be building a new stadium sooner then most imagined.

It all started as a great attraction, a great investment for the city. “A great central attraction”, many would say. I remember watching the news and people opposing, but mostly hearing how people excited. Happy to see something new coming our way, having something to do in this “boring” city, as many would say of El Paso. Construction started on May 30th of 2013, and a few days before El Paso City Hall had been demolished by implosion. I remember a lot of people from the community gathered up to see the explosion. It is a baseball field park, called Southwest University Park Stadium, the city’s newest attraction. It has been opened since April 28th 2014 at the heart of the city, downtown El Paso, and is located on 1 Ballpark Plaza. Currently identified as one of the bests.
Baseball is played on a field, which usually covers about two acres. The field is divided into an infield and an outfield. These two parts are considered fair territory and the rest of the field is considered foul. The infield is in the shape of a diamond and is 90 ft on each side. One point of the diamond is home plate which batters hit from. The other three points are bases: first, second, and third base. In the middle of the diamond is a pitchers mound which is slightly raised off the ground. The edges of the diamond from home plate to first base and home plate to third base are the foul lines, which extend all the way to the wall in the outfield. Behind first base is right field, behind second base is called center field, and behind third base is called left field. Fences are placed at the farthest limits in the outfield. In foul territory beyond the foul lines in the infield are dugouts where players sit when they are not playing or waiting to bat.
Second, because of the President Enterprises Corporation’s enthusiastic to UNI-Lions, the President Enterprises Corporation can adopt the public stadium. After the incident in 1997, the number of the viewers reduced obviously. The public stadium faced the issue of insufficient funds. However, if the President Enterprises Corporation can adopt one of the public stadium, the issue can be resolved and publics should notice the issue and start concern about the baseball in Taiwan. The adoption can not only deal with the reality but earn the corporate image between the enterprise and UNI-Lions.
Baseball has special field requirements for the different levels of baseball. The general levels of baseball include little league, pony, high school, college, and professional. Even though high school, college, and professional are different levels of baseball they have almost the same field regulations. The baseline is the distance between bases, each base is exactly 90 feet apart from one another in a diamond shape and there is four bases total. The pitcher’s mound has to be 60 feet 6 inches away from home base. From home plate to the backstop needs to be about 60 feet. The outfield consists of three sections; left field, center field, and right field. The left and right field can be from 320 feet up to 350 feet, while center field can be up to 400+ feet away from home plate (Frazier).
