Big League Ballpark Notes

The never-ending saga of the purchase of the land where the new Twins stadium is already being built gets more bizarre ... Ernie Harwell, who had proposed an ambitious plan to preserve Tiger Stadium, has modified his approach ... And two items that aren't exactly about ballparks: first, to me, the story of the year in baseball isn't about a steroid-aided home-run record. It's the resurrection of the career of Rick Ankiel. After a humiliating end to his big-league pitching career -- in the playoffs, no less -- he re-made himself as a power-hitting outfielder, toiling in the Minors until a couple of weeks ago. The brilliant columnist Charles Krauthammer captured the significance of this seemingly impossible redemption in a great article. Second, Keith Olbermann used to discuss sports and knew a thing or two about ballparks. But when did he officially become an idiot?
