First there was Ruppert Stadium, the home of the original Newark Bears, which was the New York Yankees' International League franchise until 1950.
Then there was the 'new' Bears Stadium, a really beautiful joint that housed the Newark Bears of the Independent League; they folded around 2014 after a fast start and almost a decade of decline.
Now the area has new life, and is a Field of Dreams once again. For those of us ex-pats who've always loved our city, this may just be the infrastructure kick in the ass that brings Newark back. President-elect Trump, are you reading this?
