2026 Ballfield tribute

This post is a tribute to ballparks called home to many of Wisconsinโ€™s amateur baseball clubs. If you click on any photo, text below the photo identifies where the ballpark is located.

Originally, I was going to add commentary for each ballfield, but I’ve decided to showcase select game experiences throughout the off-season.


I first started attending amateur ball games at the tail end of the 2024 season. I distinctly recall watching a game in Rome and then the Land O’ Lakes baseball playoffs in West Bend.

Throughout the 2025 season I photographed 70 ballgames at more than 50 different ballfields. Some of the thousands of photos were posted on Facebook, but I wanted a better resource.

Over the winter of 2025-26, I got this blog set up and a Facebook group started, which allowed me to post photos throughout the 2026 season.

Rewind: Over the past couple years, Iโ€™ve been expanding my Wisconsin sports memorabilia collection to include amateur baseball. Items include real photo postcards (RPPC) from the first half of the 1900s. One of those postcards shows a game in progress in Caroline. In the foreground is the ballgame. In the background is a barn and church. In 2025, because of the postcard, I visited Caroline for a ballgame. Interestingly, the barn and church are still there.

Making the connection: That visit to Caroline incentivized me to get a drone so I could take similar photos of ballparks and games in progress.

So, here we are. This post is a tribute to ballparks called home to many of Wisconsinโ€™s amateur baseball clubs. If you click on any photo, text below the photo identifies where the ballpark is located.

More to come in 2027.


  • I am always interested in adding to my Wisconsin baseball memorabilia collection โ€“ especially schedules, programs, photos, RPPC (real-photo) postcards, etc. Other unique items are of interest too, especially pre-1970.
