Swing and a miss: The Los Altos Batting Range at 9501 Lomas NE in Albuquerque, NM, has struck out after 35 years, a victim of baby boomers developing sore shoulders, arms, backs and knees, as well as increasing competition from indoor ranges.
Owner Dick Mann, 68, plans to spend $300,000 to replace it with the 100-unit ABQ Self Storage on Lomas within a few months. For those that still need to re-create their youth with an outdoor batting practice fix, Mann will keep operating Sluggers on Montgomery. Source: Albuquerque Journal
