Spring, when a young
man’s fancy turns to love and baseball, is finally here. Ever since baseball
first began in Kaukauna way back in 1885, the ball park has been preparing itself for the summertime sport. A team from
Kaukauna first entered a league in 1902, when Kaukauna played in the old state
league. Kaukauna competed in the league until 1940. The ballpark has been
altered with the passing of years. Three different grandstands were built the
present one being built in 1922 after a flood swept the ball grounds and
grandstands away. Lights were erected at
the field in 1935 where they were used for baseball games and for the high
school football games.
