Lurk Field is the home of the St Louis Unions Vintage Base ball Club. The Unions Base Ball Club of St. Louis is one of several dozen clubs in North America that play by the 38 rules adopted in the early 1860's by the “National Association of Base Ball Players.” The 1862-rules game played by the Unions is known as “New York rules” base ball, having been established in 1845 by a gentlemen’s club from New York City. The game continued to evolve and grow, having spread to New Jersey and throughout Long Island in its infancy and to most industrial cities by 1860. Modern baseball is a descendant of this game.
There is no admission charge or concessions. You are welcome to bring a blanket or chair and refreshments.

Special permission to hide caches in St. Louis County parks is NOT needed as long as the Groundspeak rules are followed. "Blanket Permission" has been worked out in advance with the park service. DO NOT CALL THE PARK as they cannot handle the calls. The Groundspeak cache reviewer does need to know exactly how and where the caches are hidden and what type of containers are used. The geocaching liaisons will notify the park service of new caches. Remember NO AMMO BOXES or PVC PIPE caches. |
