Historic LaGrave Field is not only the home of the American
Association’s Fort Worth Cats, but it has also been the Texas Wesleyan
baseball team’s home field for the last five seasons. One of the top facilities
to host collegiate baseball in the country, the stadium has a history
unmatched by any ballpark in Texas.
LaGrave Field has hosted baseball in two eras, 1926-1964 and 2002-
present. In 2002, the modern LaGrave Field was built on the site of the old
ballpark. In fact, home plate sits exactly where it did in 1926 when the orig-
inal facility opened.
Numerous Hall of Famers have played at LaGrave Field. The very
dugouts where the likes of Hank
Aaron, Rogers Hornsby, Babe
Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Joe DiMaggio,
Jackie Robinson, and Ted
Williams once sat still stand
next to the modern dugouts
used by the Rams today.
With a gorgeous view of
downtown Fort Worth beyond
the right field fence and the
Trinity River Trail beyond the left field fence LaGrave field is an excel-
lent site to enjoy a game. The Stadium is a perfect blend of past and
present with a state of the art sound system and video board as well
as an old fashioned manual scoreboard.
LaGrave Field has a capacity of 5,000. The dimensions of the field
are 325-feet in left field, 400-feet in centerfield, and 335-feet in right
field.
Texas Wesleyan has registered a 144-49-1 (.746) record within
the friendly confines of LaGrave Field.
