Branson, Missouri is known for plenty…all you can eat fried food buffets, cut-off jeans shorts-optional wedding chapels and, of course, the Yakov Smirnoff Theater.
But baseball?
According to The Detroit News, land developers are set to break ground on a Little League complex that will showcase six two-thirds-scale versions of popular Major League stadiums…including Fenway Park, Wrigley Field and, because why not, Tiger Stadium.
The $15 million complex should be completed in May, but that’s just the tip of the proverbial iceberg sculpted into the likeness of the late, great Conway Twitty. Also on the docket, specialty retail stores, restaurants and, get this, ten more stadiums. What a country!
“We are trying to make it the Epcot Center of ballparks,” said Hamilton Chang, CEO of Ballparks of America, the company behind this venture.
Somewhere the ghost of Boardwalk and Baseball weeps silently into his glove.
