Description
Auto Zone Park, arguably the most efficient minor-league baseball park built up to now 25 years, is nestled in a corner of downtown Memphis. Situated around the street from the historic Peabody Hotel and two blocks from Beale Street, Auto Zone opened in 2000 to rave reviews. It’s the phoenix that rose from the ashes of Russwood Park. Baseball enthusiasts remember that Russwood and the players who roamed the sphere, like Dazzy Vance, one-arm Pete Gray, Big Klu, and Moonlight Graham. Photographs of Baseball: Baseball in Memphis highlights the history of the Chicks and the Redbirds and can pay homage to the unique amateur Chickasaws, the Red Sox, and the Blues.
