View source for Marburger Field

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.
