Readers share their memories Anton Stadium a ‘truly amazing place’ By KYLE BALDWIN for The Daily Journal I grew up there as much as I did in my own front yard. It is where my parents froze though winter football games and steamed under the summer sun during baseball season. I have a picture of it on my refrigerator and my Long Beach friends comment on what a beautiful ball park it is. When I come home to visit, I take walks there and tell my wife and kids exaggerated stories of what went on “back in the day.” If you go there on any evening in the Fall, you might hear an old familiar voice echoing off the hills... “You miss that tackle again, your ass is grass and I’m the mower!” Of course I am talking about the hallowed grounds of Anton Stadium and the voice of Pop Warner Coach Brad Shear.
