Don Newcombe & Roy Campanella played here!
I happen to be staying in Nashua, NH for business and after reading a little history on Holman Stadium, I was looking forward to visiting this ballpark. The American Defenders of New Hampshire play in this historic park. Last time I visited N.H, the Nashua Prides played there.
Back in the old days, one of the Dodgers minor league teams played at this ballpark in Nashua, NH.
What a thrill to be at this historic stadium and see the plaque dedicated to the achievements of Don Newcombe & Roy Campanella! Thank you Nashua, NH for permitting these two baseball players to play here.
A very happy 83rd Birthday Newk who was born on June 14, 1926. It is such a pleasure and honor to see you at Dodger Stadium!
Here is the ballpark. Note the retired numbers for Newk, Campy and Jackie.

Guess what I found out? Eric Gagne has signed with the Quebec Capitales. Quebec will play a three game series at Holman Stadium June 29 to July 1st.

I’m going to move back to my home state of Arkansas in just a few years. There are two new AA fields in the state but I don’t believe either of them play the Chattanooga Lookouts. The new one is the Northwest Arkansas Naturals, which are a Royals affiliate. The other is the Arkansas Travelers, affiliate to our enemy the Angels. I guess when I get back I’ll have to be a Naturals fan.
Wow, that looks like a beautiful stadium!! I love the forest in the background

Julia,
If you have a chance, you should visit the park.

Aducker,
Definetely you need to become a Naturals fan when you move back!
Hey Kaybee,
That seat cost me $5. $for $20 they had all you can eat but I had dinner prior to going to the game and they had those fry breads making them there. If you have a chance go check out one of your Padre’s minor league teams.
Great pix, Emma. And interesting about Gagne. I still remember going to Dodger Stadium and seeing him come in for the 9th with all the hoopla. Talk about a fall from grace. Maybe he’ll make a comeback.

Emma,
Glad you had a nice time at the park. Maybe I’ll visit it when I’m in Maine over the summer. Where I stay, it’s practically New Hampshire.

Jane,
So you and I were at the Dodger Stadium at the same time. I could have run into you. I hope Gagne makes a comeback.

Elizabeth! I have not read you for a while!
I hope you do visit that park or any minor league park. There are so charming.
