There was not much left of the old Shulthis Stadium when these photos were taken
in 2009. The grandstand was crumbling. The park was renamed Emmot Field with little
or no fanfare of the fact that this was once the great Shuthis Stadium...
home to the New York Yankees Class D KOM League franchise that would produce one of the greatest players ever to wear a Yankees
uniform. Shulthis Stadium was forgotten and just a relic of a once great moment
in all of sports history. It may very well have been the home of the first "Night
Game" ever in professional baseball as well. For a baseball park with such
a storied history... it was a sad day to see the stadium in this condition as it
was just a matter of time before it was condemned and ready for the wrecking
ball. |
