Centennial Field
Named
to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the University of Vermont's first
graduating class, Centennial Field has been the
home
of UVM athletics since 1906. The three ballparks that have
stood on this site have hosted semi- professional and minor
league
baseball, as well as exhibitions by visiting Major League and Negro
League ballclubs. The current grandstand, constructed in
1922,
is one of the oldest still in use. Among the outstanding
players who have graced Centennial's diamond are Larry Gardner,
Ray
Collins, Tris Speaker, Jesse Hubbard, Robin Roberts, Kirk McCaskill,
Barry Larkin and Ken Griffey, Jr.
