Sam Lynn Ballpark

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sam Lynn Ballpark is a stadium in Bakersfield, California. It is primarily used for baseball, and is the home field of the Bakersfield Blaze minor league baseball team. It was built in 1941, and seats 4,200 people.

It is one of the few baseball stadiums where the batter faces west, and as such, faces directly into the setting sun. This forces the Blaze to start most games later than other teams in the California League.
