Field of Dreams

For almost a decade it stood, sad and forlorn, awaiting its ultimate fate. The wait is over. The building eaters have arrived. One of the last ballparks from baseball's golden age has been sold for scrap. Well, they offically call it a "historic dismantling", but it has been sold for scrap.
