Courant: Plaque To Be Unveiled July 26 At Historic Hartford Field

Can’t be too bad in Hartford… They haven’t had the blues for more than 130 years.

A plaque to commemorate the site of one of the original eight National League baseball fields on the grounds of the Church of the Good Shepherd in Hartford is scheduled to be unveiled July 26 at noon.

...That land and a section of Grand Avenue Park in St. Louis, home of the Brown Stockings, are the only two of the original eight major league fields that have not been built upon.

As far as I can tell, neither of the local Vintage Base Ball teams (the 1886-era Hartford Senators, and the 1861-era Hartford Dark Blues) have a game scheduled there that day. Otherwise I’d suggest a Hartford-area meetup.

Thanks for posting this, vi. I probably would have received word about this somehow anyways, but you never know.

Just trying to do my part for the East Coast Media Bias.
