Quick walk near the stadium earlier, noticed the large ball commemorating Dave Parker's HOF induction is not yet installed. Statue-form Maz looks same as he ever was nearby. @sabrlandmarks.bsky.social

Bit of a @sabrlandmarks.bsky.social Field trip to Hoboken, NJ, took me to Elysian Fields recently, the "birthplace" of base ball (it's a little more complex than that). The first recorded game in Pittsburgh was played 12 years later, across from Gus and Yaya's stand (they weren't there yet). 🧵1/3
The @markarmour04.bsky.social Satchel Paige presentation at SABR 53 inspired me to do some “similar” research on another Mobile baseball legend. Look for it soon on the @sabrlandmarks.bsky.social blog.
TIL there is a statue of Eddie Stanky at Stanky Field at The University of South Alabama in Mobile, AL. He was a long time MLB player and Manager and at USA for 14 years. @sabrlandmarks.bsky.social

On our way out of St. Louis yesterday, I stopped at 1212 N. Lindbergh Blvd. From 1969 to 1996, this tired-looking suburban office building was the home of The Sporting News, which arrived in the mail every Saturday for years, teaching me about sports and writing. @sabrlandmarks.bsky.social
A smattering of pics from today's ceremony unveiling the all-minority lineup state historical market near the location of where Three Rivers Stadium once was. @sabrlandmarks.bsky.social
On the way back to the hotel, visited the Felton Snow marker that SABR dedicated a couple of years ago in Eastern Cemetery also in Louisville.
Attended the dedication of a grave marker for longtime Baltimore Elite Giants second baseman Sammy T. Hughes in Louisville. #SABR went over and above! Beautiful marker!
Have you visited our display Celebrating Women in Baseball at the Rockford Public Library yet? There are objects from past international tournaments and teams, some of which will compete in the Women’s Baseball World Cup Group Stage at Rivets Stadium next summer. Check it out!

Willie Smith is from my home area and is in the County HoF. His plague is on the @sabrlandmarks.bsky.social map. He hit a walk-off hr on opening day 1969 with the cubs.
Also take note @sabrlandmarks.bsky.social. Jim Gilliam Park is not yet on the Baseball Map but there is at minimum some artwork per linked article. Uncertain if there is a plaque or marker. Can anyone in the area investigate? lasentinel.net/new-updates-...
