About a year ago I posted on Facebook asking if anyone knew the backstory and who currently owned it. Well, a couple weeks ago I saw where a small group was having a work day. Got a good bit done this morning. If any of y’all ever played there back in the day, please let me know. If you have interest in helping in the future, I can get you in touch with the right people.

I would get that part straightened out before doing anything. -------------- For what it is worth: I still agree with me! A big man will stand up for himself; a great man will stand up for others.

Awesome. Any chance you have any pictures from playing there?

Grew up in Bibb co and pretty sure we played either on that field or at least in the area as Dixie youth boys and majors 12-14yos when we got to “travel” to play other teams.
