One address, for one morning a year
The only ballpark the league names anywhere is the Emerald Playground Association at 7748 Penn St, Slatington, where the all-star games and the Hall of Fame induction are held. No field is named for any regular-season fixture across three divisions.
Slatington is north of Allentown at the top of the valley, so the league is drawing men from three cities to a single small-town ground for its biggest day, and publishing the street address is what makes that possible. High Cheese ties the ballpark, the address and the map to every fixture, so the ordinary Sundays get the same treatment as the one that matters.
