CINCINNATI -- The Reds and the Reds Community Fund honored the memory of a cherished member of the franchise's history on Saturday, hosting a ribbon-cutting ceremony for a renovated baseball field at Gilday Riverside Park on Cincinnati's West Side.
Bernie Stowe Field was dedicated in honor of the longtime Reds clubhouse manager who worked for the team for 67 years, starting in 1953 at Crosley Field. Stowe was a ballboy for the '53 All-Star Game, and he eventually became the senior clubhouse and equipment manager. He retired in '13 and passed away in '16 at 80 years old.
