Troubling metaphors: The Citizens Bank Park sandcastle

What exactly is former University of Pennsylvania and current MIT student Alex Nakahara trying to say with this sandcastle rendition of Citizens Bank Park? That the Phillies’ season is built on an unsteady, shifting foundation that is destined to dissolve at the first sign of the encroaching tide? Naw, probably he just thought it was cool. And he’s right. From The 700 Level:

“The sandcastle took most of the day to build, so around 6 hours. My brother and dad helped me out with it,” Alex said.
From looking at the size and detail of the CBP castle, I had the feeling this was not their first foray into sand sculptures.

I would have used kelp for the warning track, but that’s just me.
Anyway, Friday night is Crustacean Night at Citizens Bank Park sandcastle, in which all shell-dwelling sea animals are admitted half price. No snails.
Meanwhile, here’s another great ballpark rendition: Yankee Stadium in Middle-Earth form.
