First ever Silver Bat Classic
to be held July 10
NORTH BROOKFIELD - In the years before the current
North Brookfield Common was created, ball was being played in the
park of the Congregational Church.
The trees were young then, and as the chapel and soldiers’
monument had not yet been erected, there was ample room for play.
The games played there created universal excitement. The catcher
stood near the southwest corner of the church, the thrower a little
distance from the site of the present soldiers’ monument.
One old gentleman remarked that the ground has never since been
put to a better use.
