Our Review:
McKechnie Field is currently undergoing renovations, which includes increasing the comfort and capacity of the seating.
Built in 1923 for the St. Louis Cardinals and still known by many oldtimers as the former spring home of the Milwaukee Braves and Atlanta Braves, McKechnie Field is basically the same ballpark where Roberto Clemente gracefully patrolled the outfield, where Willie Stargell engaged the fans, and where Henry Aaron awed onlookers with his sheer power and determination.
McKechnie Field is a throwback to how spring training used to be: an intimate affair played in a neighborhood ballpark.
