Baseball Fields of Wisconsin
The following is a sampling of Wisconsin baseball parks noteworthy for their
architecture, history or ambience. They are just a few of the many local parks
that help define communities throughout Wisconsin. The best time to visit each
is, of course, during a game. Check local newspapers or area Chambers of
Commerce for further details.
Outside the park is a statue of Hank Aaron, who played his first year in
organized baseball here in 1952 for the Northern League Eau Claire Bears. The
park is now home to the semi-pro Eau Claire Cavaliers.
