If you're talking their original field down in town, I just assumed to was piped straight to the creek/ditch on the other side of the railraod tracks. Straight piped to the river. 🤣

With regards to the question of what next, it did get me thinking. One thing that crossed my mind was the all the old footage of games of local teams from through the years on YouTube now. I guess this is more aimed at Mr. Baker @Bluefield researcher but the thought of having a link on his site straight to the YouTube video of the game. Between the channels strictly dedicated to Bluefield, Princeton, James Monroe, and the old New River District and it's schools, there's 100's of games going wayyyy back. Also, for us junkies that love this sport, this area and it's history, we're lucky. I raise a glass of bourbon in thanks.

Only picture I can find is historical book of the county. Took in 1942. From that picture, home plate would have roughly been in the general area where the goal line and home sideline meet. Inserted video from Coach Mabry's youtube channel to give an idea. 1961 vs Radford

Also, another former Appy League ballpark. Home of the 2 time league champion New River Rebels.

Clintwood Got to catch one game there, the playoff game vs East Mont. Reminded me of home in that if you didn't get there early, good luck on parking and loved the atmosphere.
