Osmond Memorial Park Baseball Field

2026-07-09T15:54:07Z

Jvandersnick:

Just north of Highway 20 on the eastern edge of the small Northeast Nebraska town of Osmond is Osmond Memorial Park. Inside this park sits the community baseball diamond, home to amateur baseball action.

Spacious, concrete bench-style seating underneath a wooden roofed grandstand is a notable feature. Built into the surrounding landscape, the grandstand seats provide shade and relief from the summer heat and an excellent view of the on-field action. Beyond the chain-link boundaries of the outfield is expansive farmland intersected by the North Fork of the Elkhorn River.

The ballyard features an all dirt in-field, a fertile grass outfield, and above-ground dugouts. The restroom and concession facilities sit behind the third baseline. The ballgame announcers call games in a perch behind the first baseline.

Richie Ashburn Field

2026-04-25T02:01:40Z

Jvandersnick:

Tilden, Nebraska is the home of Richie Ashburn Field, set inside the community park near downtown Tilden. The field is named in honor of the legendary Major League Baseball All-Star and Hall of Fame inductee, Richie Ashburn, who was born and raised in the small, Northeastern Nebraska community. Ashburn, a long-time representative of the Philadelphia Phillies, both as a player and later as part of its broadcast team, spent his youth excelling as a ballplayer in Tilden and surrounding communities.

Richie Ashburn Field has minimalist features and few amenities. A small-enough to miss sign, nailed to a wooden pole at the entrance of the park, features an image of Richie Ashburn in his batting stance and Phillies ballcap. The words “Richie Ashburn Field” surround the image. The infield playing surface is made of dirt and sand. There is no raised pitcher’s mound. The grass outfield, framed by temporary fencing, serves multiple purposes, doubling as the high school football field in the fall. Goal posts stand just beyond the left and right field fence. Above ground dugouts with wooden benches sit behind chain-link fencing. The backstop is covered with wood planking at its base, presenting a unique challenge to catchers retrieving scalding passed balls and wild pitches. A set of bleachers, modest and aging, are perched behind the home plate and first and third base perimeter fencing.

Richie Ashburn Field is a small-town ballpark with old school charm, closer in style to neighborhood sandlots of a bygone era than the modern, well-tended and often artificial ballyards of the modern age. There are no bells and whistles. Here the game can be played in its purest form. However, a park honoring a legend of the game, a Major League Baseball Hall of Famer, can do more to live up to that Hall of Fame standard. Improvements and upgrades would only serve to honor the man whom after the field is named.

Tilden, Nebraska is the home of Richie Ashburn Field, set inside the community park near downtown Tilden. The field is named in honor of the legendary Major League Baseball All-Star and Hall of Fame inductee, Richie Ashburn, who was born and raised in the small, Northeastern Nebraska community. Ashburn, a long-time representative of the Philadelphia Phillies, both as a player and as part of its broadcast team, spent his youth excelling as a ballplayer in Tilden and surrounding communities.

Richie Ashburn Field has minimalist features and few amenities. A small-enough to miss sign, nailed to a wooden pole at the entrance of the park, features an image of Richie Ashburn in his batting stance and Phillies ballcap. The words “Richie Ashburn Field” surround the image. The infield playing surface is made of dirt and sand. There is no raised pitcher’s mound. The grass outfield, framed by temporary fencing, serves multiple purposes, doubling as the high school football field in the fall. Goal posts stand just beyond the left and right field fence. Above ground dugouts with wooden benches sit behind chain-link fencing. The backstop is covered with wood planking at its base, presenting a unique challenge to catchers retrieving scalding passed balls and wild pitches. A set of bleachers, modest and aging, are perched behind the home plate and first and third base perimeter fencing.

Richie Ashburn Field is a small-town ballpark with old school charm, closer in style to neighborhood sandlots of a bygone era than the modern, well-tended and often artificial ballyards of the modern age. There are no bells and whistles. Here the game can be played in its purest form. However, a park honoring a legend of the game, a Major League Baseball Hall of Famer, can do more to live up to that Hall of Fame standard. Improvements and upgrades would serve to honor the man whom after the field is named.

Stan Musial Baseball Field

2026-02-09T02:48:05Z

Jvandersnick:

Stan Musial Baseball Field is framed by the lush woodlands of Palmer Park and found on the northern edge of Donora, Pennsylvania, a Monongahela River town south of Pittsburgh. The field is named after Stan “The Man” Musial, a Donora native and one of the greatest hitters in baseball history. Musial spent his entire Major League Baseball career with the St. Louis Cardinals and was a perennial All-Star, a three-time World Series Champion, and a first ballot inductee into the National Baseball Hall of Fame.

The most notable feature at this ballpark is the sign with two St. Louis Cardinals insignias welcoming guests to Stan “The Man” Musial Baseball Field. Two Cardinal red flags extend above the sign which also features Cardinal red lettering against a white background. In a departure from the greatness of “The Man” of which the diamond is named, the field itself is unremarkable and has certainly seen better days. Evidence would indicate it is perhaps no longer widely used for more than pick-up ball, the occasional little league game, or rec league soccer. The fencing and backstop are in disrepair.

Marburger Field

2025-11-25T20:30:52Z

Jvandersnick:

Marburger Field is located on the campus of Albuquerque Academy in Albuquerque, New Mexico. A small monument can be found behind the home plate backstop commemorating the man for which the field is named: “Marburger Field, In honor of Whitey Marburger, Teacher, Coach, Friend and Inspiration, Albuquerque Academy, 1966-1981.”

The ball diamond is an oasis in the otherwise tanned and bronzed desert landscape of Albuquerque. The lush greens of the grass infield, expansive outfield, and the evergreen trees and cottonwood trees that line the left and right field lines make this place a little slice of amateur baseball paradise. The picturesque Sandia Mountains as an outfield backdrop only adds to the aesthetic.

Alex Bregman, Major League Baseball All-Star and World Series Champion, played his high school baseball on Marburger Field. Bregman’s 2009 state championship team is honored with a mural painted on the wall of the home team’s dugout. The Chargers of Albuquerque Academy also claimed state championships in 2015 and 2021.
