Hi guys... first post here. I don't think anyone's posted this yet:

http://www.landau-luckman-lake.com/map.htm

has changed again and now shows a picture of a baseball field. I don't have time to find out which one at the moment, cuz I'm at work. Anyone recognize it? I don't think the directions at the bottom have changed.

Later,

MrHorrible Evil or Very Mad

http://www.baseball-almanac.com/stadium/stadiume.shtml

to


so, The lost city of Ebbets field?

PS - I checked, the directions are still the same.
PSS - Lou found the exact photo here. http://thedeadballera.crosswinds.net/Stadiums/StadiumsEbbetsField_photo4.jpg

 		I can confidently say (after doing some research) that the picture is more than likely Ebbet's Field, formerly of Brooklyn, NYC.

What to do with it? I haven't the slightest.

For proof of identification:
http://www.ballparks.com/baseball/national/ebbets01.jpg
http://www.baseballreliquary.org/images/EbbetsField.jpg
http://www.alanluber.com/images/ADL30.jpg

And some reading:

http://www.ballparks.com/baseball/national/ebbets.htm


<EDIT>

Damnit, too late again!
But at least I had the right idea, without anyone's help! That's gotta count for something, right? Smile

*note: jamesi has NEVER solved a puzzle

 		Interesting use of "name"
Interesting how the image name of the first two were"map" and this one is called "60feet6inches". I assume this is a baseball ref (not a huge fan - sorry) but perhaps more intentional than not.

Plus notice how the picts change but the directions have, for the most part, not. I think the story is in the directions, and the pictures are just window dressing.

But what to I know, I am but an observer on this planet <adjusts tin foil hat>. And here is one for you, what if you took the blue and the red pill?

60 feet, six inches = the distance from the pitcher's mound to home plate in professional baseball.

Then y2kbozo posted this at CD...

With only a little prodding, the directions in the first map can be made into the
directions in the second and third maps.
