NIGHT BASEBALL has been around for quite some time now, and this photo captures but one of thousands of lighted fields in North America. I'm drawn to the photo because it captures in a quaint way a small pocket of baseball in Toronto. From the soft glow of light on the field to the limited bench seating, this game is nestled quite cozily into the hillside. It's worth noting that the lighting is much more subdued than found in Major League Baseball. It is also strongly reminiscent of Morris Kantor's Night Baseball painted in 1934.
