I played here in 1964 on the duggans team. I caught, and our main pitcher was 6'2", and all arms, and legs. he was the fireballer on the AL division. My hand was swollen all season from catching him, and I had one hit all year. Loved the field, though
My grandfather was WYne Ladewig and he coached here for years. He took a team to within one game of going to Williamsport one year. This field meant more to him than anything. My grandma Mary worked the concession stand.
I played 4 years there, from 1966 to 1969, Morrison Furniture.. It's great to see the field still in use though it really is just a shell of it's former glory.. it truly was a great place to play, one of the best anywhere at that time
If you remember back, the dugouts were real, half underground dugouts. It was one of the best parks in the country. There was a utility barn behind centerfield, with the scoreboard on on top, you reached from a ladder out back. Two kids operated it for a "treat ticket" or two. I think those were worth 15 cents in 1975, same as a pack of baseball cards.
