Last Game -- Hawkins Park   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #334 of 407 |
I've been able to track down the last professional game at Hawkins
Park in Albany. It took place on 9.6.1959 with Springfield winning
8-4. Springfield clinched the Eastern League regular season title with
that win. Notable players to play in this game include Matty Alou and
Tom Haller.

One interesting fact I uncovered about the park is that many claim
that the last professional HR of Babe Ruth was hit in this park in
1938 when Brooklyn visited for an exhibition game. Can anyone confirm
this fact?
