520 "Someone lucky enough to live on Milwaukee's near north
side between 1888 and 1952 could experience the world
without ever leaving the neighborhood. Nestled between
North Seventh and Eighth Streets and West Chambers and
Burleigh, Borchert Field was Milwaukee's major sports
venue for 64 years. In this rickety wooden stadium
(originally called Athletic Park), Wisconsin residents had
a close-up view of sports history in the making, along
with rodeos, thrill shows, and even multiple eruptions of
Mount Vesuvius. In Borchert Field, baseball historian Bob
Buege introduces the famous and fascinating athletes who
dazzled audiences in Milwaukee's venerable ballpark. All
the legendary baseball figures--the Bambino, Satchel Paige,
Ty Cobb, Joltin' Joe, Jackie Robinson, the Say Hey Kid--
played there. Olympic heroes Jim Thorpe, Babe Didrikson,
and Jesse Owens displayed their amazing talents in
Borchert. Knute Rockne's Fighting Irish competed there,
and Curly Lambeau's Green Bay Packers took the field 10
times. Buege tells stories of other monumental moments at
Borchert as well, including a presidential visit, women
ballplayers, the arrival of television broadcasting, the
1922 national balloon race, and an appearance by scat-
singing bandleader Cab Calloway. Borchert Field is long
gone, but every page of this book takes readers back to
the sights, sounds, and spectacle of its heyday"--

520 "Athletic Park, later named Borchert Field, was
Milwaukee's major sports venue for 64 years. From 1888 to
1952, all the legendary figures in American sports, and
other fields of endeavor, performed there. This rickety
wooden stadium on Milwaukee's north side gave the
residents of Wisconsin a close-up look at sports history
in the making, along with rodeos, thrill shows, and even
multiple eruptions of Mount Vesuvius. In 64 short and
lively chapters, Buege introduces the famous and
fascinating athletes, from baseball and football players
to wrestlers and rodeo riders, who dazzled audiences at
Borchert Field. He also sprinkles in stories of other
monumental moments at Borchert, including a presidential
visit, the arrival of television broadcasting, and an
appearance by scat-singing bandleader Cab Calloway"--
