“New Yorkers have this special spot in Central Park, where they do this 5K run, the minute the clock strikes twelve. I ran once, and I'll never do that again, either. But, it's awesome to watch those people run. It's such a great environment and place to be.” PeopleRunningWatchesEnvironmentMinutesSpecialStrikesSpotsClockRanParksTwelveNew YorkersCentral Park Author:Hilary Swank
“I don't like comparisons with football. Baseball is an entirely different game. You can watch a tight, well-played football game,but it isn't exciting if half the stadium is empty. The violence on the field must bounce off a lot of people. But you can go to a ball park on a quiet Tuesday afternoon with only a few thousand people in the place and thoroughly enjoy a one-sided game. Baseball has an aesthetic, intellectual appeal found in no other team sport.” PeopleIfsWellsDifferentFoundGamesSportsEnjoyHalfWatchesViolenceTeamFieldsFootballThousandQuietIntellectualEmptyBaseballBallsExcitingAppealsParksComparisonAfternoonAestheticStadiumsBounceTuesdayFootball GameSports TeamOne Sided Author:Bowie Kuhn
“The ballpark is the star. In the age of Tris Speaker and Babe Ruth, the era of Jimmie Foxx and Ted Williams, through the empty-seats epoch of Don Buddin and Willie Tasby and unto the decades of Carl Yastrzemski and Jim Rice, the ballpark is the star. A crazy-quilt violation of city planning principles, an irregular pile of architecture, a menace to marketing consultants, Fenway Park works. It works as a symbol of New England's pride, as a repository of evergreen hopes, as a tabernacle of lost innocence. It works as a place to watch baseball.” AgeLostStarsCitiesPrinciplesWatchesCrazyPrideEmptyBaseballEnglandMarketingDecadesArchitecturePlanningSymbolsErasInnocenceParksSeatsWorking ItSpeakersViolationRiceBabeMenaceEpochNew EnglandConsultantsRuthTrisQuiltsBallparksCity PlanningEvergreensEmpty SeatsFenway Park Author:Martin Nolan
“I think I'm someone who is really prone to melancholy, and the super heavy, thick shows kind of spiral me out into not being able to be as happy a person as I think I deserve to be, so I tend to watch things like 30 Rock and The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. Anything Tina Fey's involved in. And Parks and Rec. I love comedies!” ThinkingKindPersonsShowsAbleWatchesComedyRocksInvolvedDeserveHeavyParksMelancholyThickSpiralsUnbreakableFeySchmidtParks And Rec Author:Sara Bareilles
