Newport

Cardines Field
Location: Newport, R.I.

When the barnstorming Elite Giants, NY Black Yankees, Phila. Stars, or Boston Royal GiantsĀ  visited Newport to play the Newport Sunset League All-Stars, they played at Cardines Field. The stadium structure was built in 1937 and the grandstand took its current shape by 1941. The field is named for Bernardo Cardines, the first Newport resident to make the Supreme Sacrifice in World War I.
