Burke Vs, The Bronx-again
I have been thinking about revisiting posts that I did on Burke vs. The Bronx, and my days in both of those fine places. I found these pictures on the net that kind of shows why I saw similarities between them.

When I was real little, the grandstands were still there, and the pitcher's mound and basses were still there. The remains of one of the dugouts still stood. Leon and found several old baseballs. We went huckleberry picking every year there until I was about ten.
