History: The baseball park was
completed in 1939 and demolished in 1979. For decades, the park was the
only full-sized, fully-lit baseball field in Raleigh. The site presently
houses the city's sanitation department. Trivia: In 1968, the Durham Bulls
merged with Raleigh to form the Raleigh-Durham Mets. The team played half its
games in each of their respective cities and folded just before the start of
the 1972 season. The pictured Sanborn Insurance Map section is dated
1949. March 2004.
