Stan Musial Baseball Field

From BallYard.org

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.
