If you’re a South Bend history buff, you may remember the Foundry Giants, a predominantly black baseball team in the 1920's. This new field will help immortalize them, and play host to the next great baseball players. @leogoldmantv has the details.

The opening of @FoundryField in South Bend reminds of this story I did in the summer of 2020 about the history of the Negro Leagues in the area. Had a lot of fun talking to @nlbmprez for it, and thanks to @thomasminooka for the idea!

I got to spend my entire day out in the community sharing baseball with colleagues, students & neighbors…
To quote @NickMainieri, “What could be more worthwhile than building a garden with your neighbors in the middle of the place that you share?”

If you haven’t read (or listened to) @NickMainieri’s piece on @FoundryField …… you really really should.

An excellent, poignant account of a South Bend adult baseball league.

When a bunch of grown-ups wanted to play baseball again, South Bend's Sappy Moffit League was born. That turned out to be the start of something big for kids in town with limited access to the game. They'll soon have @FoundryField to call home: magazine.nd.edu/stories/extr…
