I lived in Winston several years after graduating from Clemson in 1964 and the Red Sox had a minor league franchise that used The stadium. It has had a dramatic makeover since they left and the Deacons took over. I have always enjoyed Ernie Shore field. Oddly enough, Shore was an ex Red Sox.

I bet you didn’t know that Wake played their football games in those days at an auto racetrack several miles from campus.

How does having no real dirt around the base pads work? I thinks it’s looks strange. Just different I guess.

It does not look like you would want to slide.

It does look like carpet all the way. How can anybody slide

Definitely need sliding shorts underneath the uni...I've seen kids slide way past second base if they don't grab the bag & then get tagged out trying to get back.

I would think that carpet would "mandate" that spikeless

shoes be worn, just from a potential injury standpoint.

BTW man our radio Announcers are old. Mahoney just started a story, “one time in 1975 we had a game here, it was a pretty cold night…”.

North Charleston, and graduated Clemson the same year I did. I consider us "Vintage", not old.
