  Baker Bowl - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Baker Bowl was the popular name of a baseball park that formerly stood in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
The most notable and talked-about feature of Baker Bowl was the right field wall, which was only some 280 feet (85 meters) from home plate, with right-center only 300 feet (91.5 meters) away, and with a wall-and-screen barrier that in its final form was 60 feet (18 meters) high.
The Philadelphia ballparks in general, and Baker Bowl in particular, seem to be a good metaphor for the life cycle of structures, of the influence of the fortunes and misfortunes of their occupants, and of changes in public tastes and demographics:

 A Historical Sketch of Baker Bowl
In addition, Baker Bowl was the first ballpark to be constructed primarily of steel and brick.
Thus, Baker Bowl became the first dual-use stadium for professional sports in Pennsylvania—an idea that would be formally resurrected with the construction of Veterans Stadium for both the Phillies and Eagles.
The club finally abandoned Baker Bowl after the 1938 season was underway and moved down Lehigh Avenue to Shibe Park—home of the Philadelphia Athletics—where the Phillies would remain until after the 1970 season.

Because of the important place it occupies in the history of baseball and Philadelphia's baseball past, Baker Bowl unquestionably deserves a historical marker that commemorates its history, the noteworthy events that occurred there, and the players who fashioned their Hall of Fame careers at the ballpark while toiling for the Phillies.

 Hand Mxing and Kneading
At home, because a baker is actually kneading the bread on a worktable, the activity is referred to as kneading; in the village bakery, because most bakers use mixers, they usually refer to the process as mixing, even though the mixing arm is in fact kneading the dough.
When the bowl method is used, the flour is gradually added to the liquid in a medium-sized bowl.
The hands and bowl are then cleaned with the plastic dough scraper and some of the remaining flour and the dough is kneaded on the worktable in the traditional manner.

A descendant of a wagon train pioneer family that settled in Baker County in 1868, Kenny was steeped in the philosophical spirit of "can do, make it do, do it over, or do without." Kenny spent his entire life just "doing it" for his family, his friends, his community and his country.
Kenny was an active member in many aspects of the Baker County community, including the Baker County and Oregon Cattlemen's Association, which honored him in 1964 as Baker County Father of the Year and Oregon Father of the Year.
The honor was due in large part to his dedicated service in the Baker County 4-H and FFA programs, in which both his sons were involved for as many years as they were eligible.
