The renovated Independência stadium in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, just re-opened. Built originally for the 1950 World Cup and now the permanent home for América, it has a capacity of 25,000, with at least double that in terms of intimidation factor judging from these pics.

Sorry to hear that an important figure in childhood literature has passed.

Al Pacino and Christopher Walken

Boston was different then. Everything was gritty and worn. There was broken glass everywhere. The sidewalks outside every bar were stained with vomit. There were no yuppies. Boylston Street was abandoned at night. Punk rock still had a chance.
I lost the car on unpaid parking tickets but survived the winter and in the spring my girlfriend nabbed a job at Boston University. We scammed our way into some sub-leased staff housing in Kenmore Square and I wrote papers for BU and Harvard students for extra money. In 1982, I made $6,000.
But that was plenty. I was right around the corner from Fenway Park. The first time I walked up the tunnel in the bleachers a batting practice home run by Reggie Jackson almost hit me on the head. Ten dollars got me into the ballpark and left enough change for three beers. For another $10, I could go to the Rat in Kenmore Square, see some rock ‘n’ roll, drink two or three more beers and careen home in five minutes. I probably went to two dozen games that year, plus a few more after the ushers abandoned the gates to the bleachers after the third or fourth inning and I walked in with the panhandlers and drunks who collected empty beer cups for a teaspoon of swill.
I was poor, but I had baseball. Walking up that runway into the bleachers that summer changed my life. It was my grad school. I majored in Fenway Park, Kenmore Square, the Del Fuegos, poetry, baseball and books.

Great article about baseball’s importance to people.
