Sulphur Dell was not just a baseball venue. Concerts by Tex Ritter, Jackie Wilson, and James Brown were held at what was Nashville's event center. Dick Clark’s Cavalcade of Stars, Esther Williams’ Water Follies, and the Shrine Circus drew large crowds, and barn-storming baseball exhibitions were held at the memorable ballpark before its demise.
In the episode, I tell how the ballpark became Nashville's baseball home, who hit the first home run in the "turned around" Sulphur Dell, how far away and how high the fences were, and more historic traditions!
