I forgot, Citgo sign is from Fenway park. A landmark. Swimming pool has ancient child hood dust on it from the 1960s from my days of HO trains. Cat on diving board, must be mate of the other cat on the field, maybe.
There is a player in the cornfield too. And one at the Frosty Bar. Minor leagues have a low meal allowance.

The baseball field is in scale, at least the infield. The pitching mound is a scale 10 inches high, as the lines are scale 3” wide. they are suppose to be 2.5”. LOL I could only get plastic strips in 2 or 3” scale. Batters box is scale as well as home plate and the bases. Outfield is not, as it would have been 2 to 3 times longer. The scoreboard is like Fenway Park, as I used 1/4” vinyl letters, numbers and striping. The wall and lights are copied from a minor league park in Hagerstown MD that goes back to 1931. They do have a “Stadium Tavern” behind the left field wall as mine is more centered, the tavern. the tavern is from Bar Mills, as is called something else after a real tavern. Someone made me a professional sign the way Bar Mills had the sign made for the correct tavern. Many of the signs on the wall are AF decals from Dave at LBR, consumer products like Simmons, etc. or off the internet. The back stop is plastic rods and wedding veil material painted. There is a black cat running from 3rd to 2nd which is in honor of the Curse of the Black Cat Chicago Cubs, 1969. Cubs where in first place in 1969 like in September, I think. They where playing the Mets and somehow a black cat ran out in the field. Cubs lost the pennant to the Mets who amazingly beat the Baltimore Orioles who had one of baseballs best seasons. Now to find a goat for the curse of the Billy Goat, Chicago Cubs, 1945.
