BRANCH RICKEY PARK

Produced by Richard Arthur 2005

Built in 1935 and known for many years as Riverside park, it has been the home of Portsmouth baseball in three different leagues. The cement block outfield wall is 345 feet from home plate in all fields.

The Portsmouth Explorers were one of the original teams in the Frontier League, a non-affiliated minor league baseball organization. The Explorers played in the league's first three seasons, from 1993 to 1995. In 1938, Portsmouth was also the home of the Portsmouth Red Birds, a minor league team owned by the St. Louis Cardinals.
