Baseball in Mount Vernon

Veterans Park

aka Vernon Park
aka Braves Field

Veterans Park hosted the Mount Vernon franchise (usually called the Kings) from 1947 through 1954. The ballpark was apparently constructed before the 1947 season. It appears that the stadium was also called Braves Field and Vernon Park. Mount Vernon still has a Veterans Park, but it does not currently contain a baseball diamond.

I'm looking for a suitable photograph of the Veterans Park ball diamond--preferably one which is not already available on another website. Drop me a line if you can help.

Source of Name: The park is a war memorial. (The other names are similarly obvious.)
