I hear it’s lookin’ mighty fine now, and I reckon folks are mighty happy ‘bout that.
They say the field’s named after some fella by the name of Albert C. Gruner, a good man who used to be a coach for Kingston High’s baseball team. I didn’t know him personally, but from what folks been sayin’, he must’ve been a real good soul who loved the game of baseball. Now, the field’s all shiny and new, and they done had a big ceremony for the grand opening not too long ago. It was held on June 23, and from what I hear, it was a real treat for all them baseball folks around.
Some folks say ol’ Albert Gruner would’ve been tickled to see his name on such a fine field. You know, sometimes folks go and do things for the community that really last, like he did.
