Do you see this hill? This is the hill of dreams at the northwest corner of the field of dreams. It has gone through a number of "outfits" since 2005, to say the least. But then the whole place has slowly transformed since then. Now lets take a look at the plan for the hill and field. Pretty snappy, isn't it. The #12 (the pinkish) that you see in the upper left is the hill, and you can see the "dream" for it in the photo with the plan text. Some senior folk may remember that roughly where the student entrance to the school is today there used to be a Lourdes grotto much frequented by the Sisters, especially in good weather. The future too holds a shrine to Mary somewhat to the east of the original one.
Fast ball teams will be able to make a visit before and after their games. Won't that be cool! Of course, all hinges on $ and lots of determination on the part of the Team. We can be assured of the latter. A sort of caveat is in order here as anyone who has built will tell you: plans do change. If you had seen the originals of the additions made in the past 20 years and compare them with what we have today you would be quite assured of that. (The originals of the 1963 building are fascinating on that score.)
The coiled hose reminds us that there's much work to be done to realize the dreams for the site. Good (ongoing) job, Construction Team!
