Duncan Park: Stories of a Classic American Ballpark recounts the history of one of our oldest wooden grandstand stadiums. Built in 1926, Duncan Park stadium has been home to a semipro Negro Leagues team that had a star left-handed pitcher known throughout the South; a 1966 Spartanburg Phillies team named one of the 100 Best Minor League Baseball Teams; an American Legion Little World Series Champion; high school, college, and wooden bat-league summer teams; and legendary promotions and special events. Players and their families, coaches, sabermetricians, and all fans of America's pastime will find in these pages a rich storehouse of our cultural heritage.
