"In 1938 Baltimore businessman Joseph Cambria funded the construction of a new minor league baseball park in Greenville, South Carolina. It became known as Meadowbrook Park, and for the next 34 years, it was home to a scrapbook full of sacred baseball memories, including the day Joe DiMaggio and Lou Gehrig came to town, a legendary tape-measure homerun hit by Ted Williams, and a game in which Mickey Mantle went five for five and signed hundreds of autographs for local fans. An impressive list of more than 40 Hall of Famers appeared at the historic park."
