A baseball diamond in Los Angeles was recently named the Bad News Bears Field, but Dog Davis, writing for the LA Times, has a few qualms with that, the biggest one being that they named the wrong field. The field actually used in the 1976 original was not in Westwood, but at the Mason Recreation Center. So what's the big deal? Apparently, Bears screenwriter, the late Bill Lancaster, used to play at the Westwood park, and his friends petitioned the city to honor his work.
"Bad" park is the wrong park
