Over a month ago, I took this picture of Foschini Park in Hackensack, not far from where I live in Bergen County, NJ.

Photo of the Day: Diamonds Are a Boy’s Best Friend

With apologies to Marilyn Monroe, diamonds—involving baseballs, not billionaires—are a boy’s best friend. 

Or, at least, they were for me in Little League, and even as an overgrown kid now, more than four decades later, as I devour the daily major league box scores.  I’m convinced I might have even come to love mathematics if only any of my teachers had told me that the diamond was obviously the most perfect shape in the world—and then pulled out a picture of a professional baseball stadium to prove it.

Several weeks ago, I took this picture of the baseball field in Foschini Park in Hackensack, NJ, a few miles from where I live. It is both specific and emblematic, a field of dreams that never really die.

A week ago, while walking around in Hackensack’s Foschini Park, not far from where I live in Bergen County, NJ, I took this picture of a Sears store, looming above the Hackensack River in the foreground.

Among the sites I enjoyed the most this past Saturday in the nearly 28-acre Foschini Park in Hackensack, NJ, was this little tree and the walkway just beyond it.
