Durham, NC
"Originally named El Toro Park when it was first built in 1926, the Historic Durham Athletic Park served as the home of the Durham Bulls for almost 70 years, and was a film location for the movie Bull Durham. In 1995, the team moved to the Durham Bulls Athletic Park, a mile south, but this field is still maintained as the home of the NCCU baseball team and is available for rentals for special occasions."

I guess that I'm just a simply guy...this is the way baseball should be. No sky boxes, no fancy score board. Oh well, times change. Thanks Tanya for joining in this week and I hope that you will share more treasures again soon.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you Tom. Keep it simple.
Deleteme as well tom and andy!
DeleteIt reminds me of my high school during my exchange year(1977). The field looked similar and we always had a great time there.
