Description | Carr Place-“Carr Place was early used by the Morning Star Club and the next ground to become known as a base ball resort was nearly two blocks in extent on the west side of Ham Street, just south of Chouteau Avenue… (here) played the Union and Commercial Clubs in their first start out, but being small in dimension the ground was used almost solely for practice…” Al Spink, in The National Game, writes about early baseball games being played “on the ground now occupied by Carr Square Park.” Carr Park was most likely used by the Morning Stars due to the fact that most of the members lived within three blocks of it. |
