Fifth Third Field ranked #4
“Ballpark experts” from around the minors were polled when Baseball America put together their Top 10 Ballparks list. Minor league officials, club personnel, and architects were among the many surveyed.
 
Toledo’s Fifth Third Field ranked fourth in the BA list...and was the highest listed ballpark in the International League. Built in 2002, the $39 million stadium has a capacity of 8,943. Sculpted around a trio of 100-year old warehouses that the club chose to utilize rather than eliminate, the downtown Toledo ballpark offers a number of unique vantage points to take in a game. The most notable is The Roost, a 282-seat area straddled by the right-field foul pole three stories above the playing surface. The Roost connects to the warehouse and a party area fans can utilize before the game.
 
Mud Hens baseball kicks off April 16. For tickets or more information, call 419-725-HENS or visit www.mudhens.com.

Stained-glass classes offered
A two-day Stained Glass Window Panel Class will be held April 7 and 14 from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. at the Owens Community College Workforce and Community Services building on Tracy Road in Northwood.
 
No previous experience in glasswork is necessary. Owens instructor Steve Noblit, who has over 20 years of experience as a professional stained glass designer craftsman, will instruct the class. Participants will be able to choose from six different styles of window panels and a variety of colored glass. They will learn the skills of cutting, foiling and soldering as they make their own window panels.
 
The registration fee for the workshop is $79, which includes supplies. For more information or to register, call 1-800-GO-OWENS, ext. 7357.
