If Walls Could Talk

Chad W. Lutz

The year: 1891. Ohio native Benjamin Harrison is President of the United States. The Civil War ended a mere 26 years ago and the turn of the 20th century is just around the corner. In Cleveland, buzz is going around about a new ballpark, League Park, for the local baseball team. Formerly the Cleveland Blues (possibly all-too apropos name of a Cleveland sports team) the Cleveland Spiders are rumored to win the pennant this year, led by a young up-and-comer by the name of Cy Young.

Our charge for the morning was a nice, little, leisurely half-hour run out and back on the Towpath in Downtown Akron. One and a half out and one and a half back. There were about fifteen of us in attendance; all regular runners from different running groups in the area. Some of us had competed in the previous week’s Boston Marathon, which was a hot topic of discussion, especially considering the guest of honor.
