Westervlle native, Ben Hartnell, didn’t want his son’s summer to come up short when he found out Little League Baseball was cancelled.
So, he brought a “Field of Dreams” to life in his very own backyard by creating the “Westerville Backyard Baseball League”.
Complete with banners, spray painted foul lines, and cardboard cutout fans, the Westerville Tropics home field was set and ready for play.
Fraser, Hartnell’s son, played two games per week, with six innings per game – just like Little League.
“Just hanging out with my Dad playing some baseball, ” Fraser Hartnell said.
A found memory they’ll surely look back on for years to come.
