One of baseball's legendary ballparks was the longtime minor-league facility in Nashville, Tenn., known as Athletic Park, or Sulphur Dell, or The Dump (because, before its baseball days, it was one).
SABR's Baseball Biography Project presents its first bio of a ballpark, as researched and written by Warren Corbett, whose work also includes profiles of broadcasters Mel Allen, Red Barber and Ralph Kiner (who was a heck of a ballplayer, too); pitchers Ken Raffensberger, Monte Weaver, Murry Dickson, Tiny Bonham, Mike Garcia, Art Houtteman, Howie Pollet and George Earnshaw; and iconoclastic owner Marge Schott.
