In the earlier days of Rochester Baseball, two versions of Culver Field would be
home to many of the Rochester International League teams. Both incarnations of
Culver Field though would produce tragedy in one form or another with the 1st version
burning to the ground and the 2nd version collapsing, injuring dozens. With
lawsuits coming from every which way, the Rochester Bronchos sold the property
to the Gleason Works. Without any delay or break in season a new ballpark would
be built for Rochester and would serve the city for 20 years. The new Bay
Street Ball Grounds or Ballpark came alive in 1908. |
