Fiscalini Field is a stadium in San Bernardino, California, USA. Over the years, the stadium was the spring training homes of the Pittsburgh Pirates and St. Louis Browns and was the home field for the San Bernardino Stars and the San Bernardino Pioneers. Today, the park is used for recreational use.
[edit] History
The park was originally built in 1934, and named Perris Hill Park after Fredrick Thomas Perris, a railroad developer who helped shape early San Bernardino.[1] In 1993, the baseball field was renamed Fiscalini Field after the late John Fiscalini, a San Bernardino native, who earned All-Citrus Belt League baseball honors at San Bernardino High School, won All-American Laurel twice while playing at the University of California at Berkeley and played professionally for the Pittsburgh Pirates.
[edit] Today
The field is primarily used for baseball and was the home of San Bernardino Spirit prior to Arrowhead Credit Union Park opening 1996. The CSUSB and SBVC baseball teams currently play there.[2] Adult league games are played on the field a majority of the year. CSUSB kicked the league off the field during their collegiate season. Games are played on Friday nights, and all day Saturdays and Sundays. There are currently two different levels of play (majors and 28 and over).
