Memorable Moments:

This from Mark Zeigler:

"Here is a little history for you on Agricultural Park in Frederick, MD, which as you know is on the property of the current Frederick Fairgrounds. The planning for the first organized baseball field here started in 1903, and by 1908, a wood stadium with a grandstand was built at the site for the semi-pro Sunset League. Trees were planted along East Patrick Street, in front of the Fairground property, and to the rear corner, surrounding the back of the grandstand area. Their were organized leagues played here with the Sunset League from 1908 to 1911, the semi-pro Tri-City League in 1914, and the Class D, Blue Ridge League from 1915 to 1923."

Thanks to Mark Zeigler and his website Blue Ridge League for help with this park information.
