In his April 10 column, Justice B. Hill of cleveland.com chose to attack Cleveland’s most historic sports venue, League Park, and the separately operated Baseball Heritage Museum (“Admit it, Cleveland: League Park is not working“). In a venomous attack based on misinformation and a lack of understanding of the facilities, he referred to the ballpark as a ”wasteland” and a sports complex that has “no value” to the community as a financial drain on the city, and wrote that Cleveland should “get out of the League Park business.”
League Park is owned by the City of Cleveland and operated by the city’s Department of Parks and Recreation. The Heritage Museum is a separate, nonprofit organization that leases the former ticket house from the city and had more than 10,000 visitors last year.
