How Milwaukee Buried Its Favorite Ballpark: Borchert Field

A wooden ballpark where kids carried buckets to put out fires in the stands. Where a windstorm tore off the roof in the middle of a game, and it was never replaced. Where Babe Ruth, Jackie Robinson, Satchel Paige and Willie Mays all played. Today, a freeway runs where it stood. This is the story of Borchert Field. Thanks for watching About History.
