Municipal Stadium (Hagerstown)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Municipal Stadium is a stadium in Hagerstown, Maryland. It is primarily used for baseball, and is the home field of the Hagerstown Suns minor league baseball team. It was built in 1931. It holds 4,600 people. In 2005 a movement arose to rename an adjacent street to honor Willie Mays, who played at the park as a minor league rookie. The proposal, however, was shot down due to protests by various American war veterans groups who wanted to keep the original road name of Memorial Boulevard. The affair was covered by ESPN on its Outside the Lines program.
