Marking the unofficial start of summer, ABC News Radio invites you to “Press Play” this Memorial Day Weekend.

This program is hosted by ABC's Alex Stone and features a playful mix of all the ways we play. We'll head to the ballpark to talk to fans and hear about the fun and colorful changes at minor league games. And we’ll go to the big leauges to assess the accuracy of those robo-umpires now calling balls and strikes. 
 
We’ll return to a simpler time and get into the online "nostalgia core" movement that urges folks to return to a more analog existence. Then log off and break out the binoculars for the calm and splendor of birdwatching, we'll lace up our sneakers and head out with some marathon runners and see if the mighty river's catch of the day is good eating. We'll even swing by the pinball museum to nudge some multi-ball fans while trying to avoid the tilt.
