Built by Dodger owner Charlie Ebbets for the 1913 season, the widely anticipated park opened without a press box, and no one brought the key to the bleachers for the first game.Originally the double-decked grandstand stood only along the foul lines, leaving the left field comer 4191 distant, and center 4771.The grandstand was extended to left and center in the 1930s, however, making the park a hittefs paradise. The left-field power alley was 351* and center became a very comfortable 388*, made even shorter by the upper deck, which hung over the playing field. The right field wall was a sight in itself.A patchwork collection of local advertisements, a scoreboard, and a large black screen that was in play, it was 38' high and abutted Bedford Avenue. The screen made up the top 19', sending balls rebounding at unpredictable angles, while the wall itself was concave, angled in the middle. The large black scoreboard featured the famous Abe Stark "Hit sign, win suit" advertisement on the bottom, and a Schaefer beer ad on top which gave the official scorer's ruling on hits and errors by lighting up the appropriate letter (h or e).Renowned for its laughable Dodgers in the 1920s and 1930s, Ebbets Field was also known for its vocal and boisterous fans. Hilda Chester would attend each game with her clanging cowbell, while the Dodgers Sym-Phony, a collection of musically inclined fans, played other instruments. In the 1940s, the Reds' Lonny Frey hit an inside-the-park home run when his drive to right hit the screen and fell straight down, coming to rest on top of the lower half of the wall, 19' above the field.And on October 3, 1947 Cookie Lavagetto broke up Bill Bevens's World Series no-hit bid with two out in the ninth.By 1957, however, Ebbets Field had grown too old to satisfy Dodger owner Walter O'Malley, and in 1958 Brooklyn's beloved Dodgers were in Los Angeles. Only 6,673 fans attended the final game, and the park was demolished in 1960. The Jackie Robinson apartment complex now stands on the site. (SCL)Stage I PresentationIntroductory remarksThis essay tells about a story of a father and a son. The son was reluctant to be seen walking with his crippled father , for he was ashamed of the unwanted attention from other people. The father, however, didn't care much about how others behaved towards them. Nor did he complain about his life. Instead, he kept on working and tried to participate in as many activities as he could. Not until the son grew up and lost his father forever, did he realize how positive and courageous his father was and how sorry he felt toward his father and how unworthy he used to be. Finally, he came to know about the fact that it was his father who set the pace in his life and taught him the importance of having a good heart.A.Vocabulary1. lean vi.lean in favour of sb. lean to one sideeg.
