Wahconah Park
Encyclopedia
Wahconah Park is a city-owned baseball park
located in Pittsfield, Massachusetts
and nestled in a working class neighborhood. One of the last remaining ballparks in the United States
with a wooden grandstand, it was constructed in 1919 and seats 4,500. The stadium is now currently home to the, yet to be named, expansion franchise in the Futures Collegiate Baseball League
. Through the park's history, 201 different Pittsfield players went on to the Major Leagues, and 100 different Pittsfield players already had some Major League experience.
In the July 23, 1990 issue of Sports Illustrated
, author Daniel Okrent
raved about the park in his column entitled Just A Little Bit of Heaven - Pittsfield's Wahconah Park is Baseball as it Oughta Be.
At the end of the 2003 season, the Berkshire Black Bears
did not renew their lease and moved to New Haven, Connecticut
. Jim Bouton
proposed to renovate the park without any public dollars and bring professional baseball back.
On July 3, 2004, a record crowd of 5,000 attended a vintage baseball game that he organized at Wahconah Park between Pittsfield and Hartford, a game telecast live for over four hours on ESPN Classic as America's Pastime: Vintage Baseball, Live. Commentators included Bouton, Bill Lee
, actor Tim Robbins
, and baseball historians John Thorn
and David Pietrusza
.
Pittsfield politics intervened and Bouton was forced out, a saga which was described in Bouton's new book, "Foul Ball plus Part II," published in paperback by Lyons Press in 2005.
In 2005, Pittsfield city officials reached an agreement with Dan Duquette
for the Pittsfield Dukes, a New England Collegiate Baseball League
summer team, to play at Wahconah Park. During the 2007 season, the Dukes attracted a season attendance of 28,955 through 21 home games, averaging 1,378 fans per game.
The agreement between the Dukes and the city of Pittsfield was jeopardized prior to the 2008 season when it was reported that the Dukes owed thousands of dollars in back maintenance fees, however Duquette and city officials reached a consensus that permitted the Dukes to continue play.
Field dimensions are 334' to left field, 374' to center field, and 333' to right field. Because the field was constructed before the advent of field lighting, no harm was seen in orienting the diamond due west. One of only two professionally used parks in the U.S. today facing west (the other being Sam Lynn Ballpark
in Bakersfield, California
built in 1941), games are sometimes temporarily suspended while the sun sets. Lights were not installed until 1946. In 1989 a mesh screen was placed in center field to help shield batters’ eyes.
In 1927, a dike was installed on the Housatonic River
in an attempt to prevent recurrent flooding.
In the summer, concerts are held in Wahconah Park. Most recently, Bob Dylan
performed there.
It is also home to Varsity Football games for Pittsfield area high schools.
In the fall of 2008 Dan Duqette partnered with the Nokona glove company and the U.S. Army USA team to create the Pittsfield American Defenders. Also, Wahconah Park was renamed to Nokona Stadium at Wahconah Park. Nokona is the only glove maker to produce in the United States. With the newly received money Wahconah Stadium is getting a much needed makeover. A brand new infield was constructed this fall. The stadium is getting all new bathrooms, stadium offices and press box.
On May 3, 2009, Williams College and Amherst College alumni played a game of vintage baseball at Wahconah Park according to 1859-rules to commemorate the 150th-anniversary of the first college baseball
game played on July 2, 1859 between the two schools. Amherst-almnus Dan Duquette
