Kyle Baseball Field
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kyle Baseball Field was a baseball venue located in College Station, Texas, and was adjacent to the football stadium, Kyle Field. The ballpark was built at the same time as the football stadium in 1904; Texas A&M were one of the original members of the Southwest Conference in 1914 but did not begin baseball until 1915.
In contrast to the more modern Olsen Field, rocks surfaced in the playing field at Kyle Baseball Field because it was built on a previous parking lot. Each day of practice, the team had to line up across the field beforehand and procede from one end to the other, removing the rocks so the infielders wouldn't get injured in the face from bad hops.
