T.R. Hughes Ballpark
March is the quiet season in the Frontier League, at least on the baseball end of the operations. Most teams are waiting for the minor-league cuts in spring training so they can fill out their rosters. The Wild Things will likely be looking to sign a veteran hitter and some L1 pitchers.
Until then, it will probably be all quiet on the FL front, unless the Wild Things get around to announcing which players will be returning from last year's team. So, to kill some time during the dead period, I've attached a link to a video of a ballpark that most Wild Things fans haven't been to: T.R. Hughes Ballpark in O'Fallon, Mo., home of the River City Rascals. This was shot last year during a game against Rockford - I think Robbie Knapp is the Rockford batter at the plate at the 2:20 mark.
T.R. Hughes Ballpark has two unique features for the FL: the "Big Dog Wall" that towers over right field (only 299 feet down the line) and the bleachers in left field. This might be the only park in the FL that has bleacher seating beyond the outfield wall.
