San Diego-Deep in the center of East County stands Pitt Park.

“What I like the most about Pitt Park is that it has been affected a bit by a lot of different things,” said Lucas Pitt, the mastermind behind Wiffel Stadium.

A look inside, it immediately takes you into the echo of Petco Park. There are the Western Metal Supply Building and the portrait of Joe Musgrove, from his long history of no hitters. Look around and you will find the smiles of Fernando Tatis Jr. and Eric Hosmer, a pair of stadium seats and various versions of the famous Swinging Friar. Even the team’s retirement numbers are on display.

“This will never stop. It’s like Disneyland,” he said. “It’s always changing. We are always moving around and updating things.”

Pete started construction at the beginning of the pandemic and last year spent about 40 hours a week writing this love letter for his favorite baseball team.

“First of all, I have the most patient and loving wife on the planet, and she will basically let me make this backyard what I am now,” he said with a smile.

Now, the lakeside residents are using it to host the Wiffle Ball tournament, hoping to raise funds to help send the children to Kasen Camp. The camp is a kind of retreat for children dealing with parents with cancer.

“I thought that each team could raise about $20, but he immediately invested in it,” said Ryan Cohen, a lifelong coaches fan from Cardiff, who volunteers at the camp. “He has a catering company, he has sponsors, he wants so much money for so many teams, I like the way he prepares.”

The tournament is full, but you can still help and participate.For more information, please visit donate.kesem.org/gopadres Or visit @PeetsPark with @????24 On Twitter.
