A bit out of order and pre-dates the last village ball field video due to a last minute error being discovered. In addition to the ball field itself, we wander into the periphery to the adjacent sports fields, lake park and nearby school grounds. From some deep digging newspaper archive research, discovered that this ball field goes back to at least the late 1800's from a tragic incident that occurred on the playing field some 128 years ago but could go back further with the baseball craze hitting the area in the 1870's with teams popping up in rural villages all over the area.
