Minor League Baseball has always been about more than just balls and strikes. It’s about community, connection and creating lifelong memories. Nowhere is that truer than at Nymeo Field—a place that holds deep meaning for so many in Frederick, including my growing family. When I first joined the Keys, I knew I was stepping into something special. This stadium isn’t just where baseball is played, it’s where life happens. From kids chasing foul balls to grandparents sharing hot dogs with their grandkids, it’s a place where memories are made. As a husband and new father, the ballpark has taken on a whole new meaning. My wife, Ellen, and I welcomed our daughter earlier this year and experiencing the stadium through her eyes has reminded me just how special this place is for families. There’s something beautiful about watching families and generations grow up at this stadium. I’ve met people who came here as kids and now bring their own children. I’ve seen birthdays, proposals and generations come together over the joy of baseball. Whether it’s your first visit or your hundredth, I hope you feel what we feel every time we walk through the gates: that Nymeo Field isn’t just our team’s home, it’s your family’s home, too.
