Sports Inspiration

Sports, Coaching and Teams fuel my inspiration and leadership style. Here a few things and people that inspire me.

Never Cut a Boy.

Cleveland's Historic League Park

League Park, E. 66th and Lexington - Cleveland Ohio. This is the exact spot that Babe Ruth hit his 500th home run. It was built in 1891 and was also the location of the only unassisted triple play in World Series history in 1920. The Indians decided to move to this new stadium, Cleveland Municipal Stadium on July 31, 1932. The team continued to play full time at Cleveland Municipal Stadium until the end of the 1933 season. However beginning in 1934, the Indians began playing at League Park on weekdays and on holidays until 1947. The team finally moved out of League Park because the ballpark never had lights. The ticket house constructed in 1909 and part of the grandstand wall along East 66th Street are the only parts still standing, but the city created a museum and park at the site with the exact field location and dimensions as shown here.
