Often referred to as a "Lefty's Field of Dreams", the creation of Limeport Baseball Stadium was mainly the work of one man, Howard, "Lefty" Fegely. Fegley, also called "Mr. Baseball", was something of a local baseball legend. In 1935, he built a stadium for local teams to practice and play games. The field slopes upwards towards center field, the result of a large piece of bedrock that couldn't be blasted.
Center field wall is an impressive 485 feet from home plate, which is one of the farthest distances possible. According to historical records, the only person to hit a home run was Alex Sabo, who went on to play in the majors with the Washington Senators.
The Stadium grounds now include a museum and a small church. Games start in the spring and run through the fall.
