About the Game
We play by the rules and customs of base ball as it was played in its formative years.
Warren Ballpark Built 1909
Help the Friends of Warren Ballpark preserve Bisbee Arizona’s historic ballpark built in 1909. Owned by the Bisbee School District, it is the oldest continuously operating multi-sport facility in the country and is still used for high school baseball, football and soccer and community events. In its storied past, Casey Stengel and Billy Martin played here. Jim Thorpe hit a 440- foot home run over the center field fence.
