It's all there in the blueprint, the U-turn this game made, the way the architects learned that going forward means going backward. Camden Yards in Baltimore to Jacobs Field in Cleveland to The Ballpark in Arlington. It's been a retro relay in stadium building these past five years that has ended with everyone safe at home. And secure there, too. At least financially.
Most businesses operate in the black or red.
But baseball's builders deal strictly in the green. The idea is to give the fans every reason to come out and spend their money. So now we have this new Anaheim stadium, redecorated, refurbished and renamed. But the idea remains unchanged. Lots of it.
