Baseball held its Winter Meetings in Indianapolis, Indiana December 7-10, 2009. What an amazing choice -- northern city, with skywalks connecting the hotels, shopping, restaurants. A clean city with a dusting of true winter but most enjoyable for the variety of venues close in to the Convention Center.
Two highlights for me were the Indianapolis Art Museum with its juried paintings, sculptures and glass exhibits which include a Monet, several Gaugins, a Remington and two Chihuly vases. My favorite by far was the Benson painting, Sunlight. A woman standing and shielding her face from the sun bathed in white light.
The second was the Soldiers Memorial where toy soldiers stood guard over the light strewn monument. At night the buildings to either side had a pyramid of green rectangles topped with golden stars.
