This double card (front and back) shows two views of Bowman Field, in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, and includes actual dirt from the field. The card was issued on the 80th anniversary of the park, which is the oldest minor league park in the state and second-oldest in the country. It is now home to the Williamsport Crosscutters in the New York-Penn League. The Crosscutters are the short-season single-A affiliate of the Philadelphia Phillies. I picked up the card when I went to the season opener last month, though it was issued several years ago for the 80th anniversary of the historic park, which is very much worth a visit. I would go more often but it is about two and a half hours away. Roadwork, a summer sport here in Pennsylvania, often stretches the trip to four hours.
