Description | Originally, the Fort Wayne ball grounds were at "Hamilton Field." Starting in 1869, the Kekionga played at the site of Civil War Camp Allen. A good SABR article on the Fort Wayne baseball grounds locates the 1869- grounds as being bordered by Elm, Mechanics, Fair, Camp Allen (modern name) and Cherry Sts., in a peninsula formed by an ox-bow of the St. Mary's River, west of downtown in a neighborhood known as "Nebraska." The first ML game was played there in 1871. |
