BASEBALL GARDEN

The front lawn of the Good Shepherd grounds was the site of the first professional baseball stadium in Hartford (built in 1874). It was home of one of the first eight teams in the National League.  The team moved to Brooklyn in 1877 and the stadium was removed later to make way for construction of the Caldwell Colt Memorial Parish House. The location of the infield is marked by marble slabs indicating the bases and pitcher’s box (placed by Friends of Vintage Base Ball).

JARDÍN DE BASEBALL

El césped delantero del terreno de Buen Pastor fue la sede del primer estadio de béisbol profesional en Hartford (construido en 1874). Fue hogar de uno de los primeros ocho equipos de la Liga Nacional. El equipo se trasladó a Brooklyn en 1877 y el estadio fue eliminado más tarde para dar paso a la construcción del monumento de la Casa Parroquial Caldwell Colt. La ubicación de la zona del "infield" está marcada por placas de mármol que indican las bases y la caja del lanzador (colocadas por Friends of Vintage Base Ball).
