Blues edit
According to this page McCormick Field was home to the Asheville Blues of the Negro Southern League during the 1940s (see also Negro league baseball). 69.119.27.73 (talk) 04:46, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
Dubious 2007 renovations edit
On July 27, 2007 a user inserted the claim into this article that the field had been renovated in 2007 to put in astroturf. This was later removed in two edits, but the infobox still had the date for a 2007 renovation. I have searched and can't find any sources that there was renovation or artificial turf installation in 2007. Because the original editing user has a dubious editing history, I am removing mentions of the 2007 date.
Feel free to change it back if you can find a good source. ——Rich jj (talk) 19:35, 18 March 2010 (UTC)
- Probably someone's idea of a joke. Googling the subject yields no evidence that they've astroturfed the field. Not that it's beyond the realm of possibility, but it's unlikely. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 22:22, 18 March 2010 (UTC)
Oldest or One of the Oldest? edit
Conflicting info: The lead says McCormick is "the oldest" minor league park in use, but the History section says it is "one of the oldest." There are no sources cited to back up either claim, so I'm wondering which one is correct.Pistongrinder (talk) 16:20, 10 April 2017 (UTC)
Scoreboard edit
Can someone take a picture of the famous scoreboard that says "Visitors" and "Tourists" so we can include it here, since it's apparently so "amusing" and well-known? I found photos online, but none of them are free to use. It does appear to be well-covered though - including the existing text and the photo is certainly justified and non-trivial.
