Montpelier Recreation Field

Built in 1940 by the Federal Works Projects Administration, Montpelier Recreation Field was home to the Northern League's Montpelier Senators and Twin City Trojans from 1941 to 1952. Many future Major League baseball players played on this historic field. The biggest star, pitcher Robin Roberts, called it his home field for two seasons. In 1946 he threw a no-hitter, and in 1947 the Trojans won the pennant as he compiled an 18-3 record. Roberts later won 286 Major League games with the Philadelphia Phillies, Baltimore Orioles, Houston Astros, and Chicago Cubs, and he was elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1976.
