Speranza Park

Speranza Park is a former baseball ground located in Toledo, Ohio, United States. The ground was home to the Toledo Maumees of the American Association during the 1890 season.

The ballpark was located on a block bounded by Cherry Street, Frederick Street, and Franklin Avenue.

The word "speranza" means "hope" in Italian. The park was reportedly named for the club owner's yacht. The team's first home game was played on May 1, 1890. The team finished a few games above .500, and 20 games back of first place, ending whatever major league hopes the club aspired to. The final home game was held on October 2, 1890.

gollark: It isn't a very good case.

gollark: They had designed ARM CPUs for ages for their phones. Recently they got good enough and/or Intel annoyed them enough that they switched over.

gollark: ARM is an instruction set. "Traditional CPU[s]" use the x86 instruction set. People argue a lot over which design is best but broadly speaking there doesn't seem to be *that* much difference, although x86 has some advantages like I think greater code density and downsides like variable length instructions being annoying to decode.

gollark: That's not a very valid comparison. But Apple's cores are somewhat better than available x86 ones.

gollark: Apparently they did lose most of their CPU design team to some other company recently, so who knows.
