Today, Cooper Stadium — one of the grandfathers of ballparks — kicks off its final season of playing host to professional baseball in Columbus. The mecca on Mound Street, built in 1932 to house the Columbus Red Birds, will serve as the Clippers’ home for the 2008 season before the team heads off to shiny new Huntington Park in the Arena District.
Until moving day, the old stadium promises to reveal many of its best old yarns.
