[QUOTE="senoiajacket, post: 780589, member: 3132"] I guess I am the last to figure out that the baseball field (and all the trappings) is now called Mac Nease baseball park. I guess it is still Russ Chandler stadium, aka Bobby Dodd stadium @ historic grant field. I am grateful to Mr Nease and all of the very wealthy donors who have given money to make tech baseball better, but it will always remain the Rusty C to me. Since I just figured out the name change I googled it to try and learn the details. One of the sites on ramblinwreck.com in describing the field had the following: “The home of Georgia Tech baseball for nearly 90 years, Mac Nease Baseball Park has a long and storied history, from its original construction in 1930 with funds from Tech’s 1929 appearance in the Rose Bowl game to its use as a training facility for the 1996 Centennial Olympic Games.” The article continues to refer to Mac Nease baseball park like it has always been called that. To me, Mac Nease baseball park has no history ....... yet. The Rusty C is still where I attended games as a student, took my son to many tech baseball games and enjoyed many thrilling wins and crushing defeats. I guess I am just an old fart and being overly sentimental ..... before it was the Rusty C it was probably called something else. That’s progress I guess and I am truly grateful for it, but it doesn’t mean the past must be forgotten does it? Here is a link to the ramblinwreck page.
