Scheduling trips and how I want to approach my project is more difficult than I initially thought. I know that I’ll be in Cleveland for the celebration on August 10th, but past that, all my other ideas for trips have not materialized. With dates looming closer and closer, trying to plan out the major events of my internship this summer is a high priority.
What puts me on a tangent with this is that one of my original trips planned was to an away game for the Indians in Detroit. The 5th of July is too close to reschedule, but tonight as I watched the Tigers game, the feeling was that they would actually do something for the career of Larry Doby. Attending this game was originally part of the plan, but because of the silent legacy of Doby and how Major League Baseball showed no signs of changing that memory, we decided to leave it alone.
While the time that would have been spent traveling can be used to solidify my direction with the project, it feels kind of bad that my summer is starting without me. I am missing this game, which still offers no guarantee, only the possibility of recognition, and the All-Star game in San Francisco next week. But with regards to the progress of my project, it is becoming more of a realization that I need to have something established soon, so that I can see the response and how it continues on with updated information. Like I said out of the gate, I wanted to build something that would be able to live and breathe after the end of the summer, and these early steps are very important in developing that ability.
