There may be no crying in baseball but I was pretty sad to come so close to this particular baseball stadium and not be be able to see inside. That’s because it’s the stadium where the movie “A League Of Their Own” was filmed.
Constructed in 1894, League Stadium served as the perfect home field for the Rockford Peaches in the early nineties hit. It’s one of those movies that I always have to stop and watch and I don’t care if it’s the beginning, middle or end of the movie.
The Dubois County Bombers is a collegiate team that plays there each summer. They wear vintage uniforms and the stadium is filled with vintage advertising and movie references.
I was there early one October morning, long past the end of baseball season. I wasn’t able to get inside but could see just enough to pique my imagination. One of my bucket list items for next summer is to see a baseball game here just so I can get inside the stadium.
Want to go? Huntingburg is a quaint town with some cute shops, great architecture and friendly people. It’s also home to the Old School Cafe with a great veggie wrap! I stayed in nearby Jasper which is also a nice place with a great old theater and other fun things to see and do.
