Wetzel Field, Villa Park
Back in my Burg day when I played baseball or football it
was either here or Franklin Park most of the time. Ralph
Lucarella said it was the same with him back in his Burg
day. Take me out to the ball game take me out to the
crowd....God Bless The Ole Burg:)

BOY MAC, WETZEL FIELD LOOKS GREAT WITH A GRASS INFIELD. IN MY DAYS IT WAS ALL DIRT AND I GOT HIT MANY TIMES WHILE SHAGGING BALLS BEFORE A GAME. I CAN PICTURE SPADER SELLING HIS PEANUTS FOR 5 CENTS A BAG DURING THE CENTRAL JERSEY LEAGUE GAMES AND WE WERE WATCHING CARS FOR 10 CENTS' ON A BIG GAME WE WOULD MAKE ALMOST A BUCK. THE TEAMS WOULD PAY SOMEONE 2 BUCKS TO RETURN BALLS THAT WERE HIT OVER THE FENCE. THOSE WERE THE DAYS.
Hi Ralph:)
ahhh the life of an infielder with bad hops, its a "heads up" or sometimes "heads down" (with line drives) position LOL:)
