In 15th year, Toledo Mud Hens' ballpark retains its charm

Toledo, Ohio — Austin Peterson sat with his 4-year-old daughter, Adrina, in the right-field stands, just taking in a baseball game.

As the Toledo Mud Hens faced the Indianapolis Indians at Fifth Third Field last week, Peterson, 25, wasn’t worried about the score or the situation or the players on the field. The only recognizable names in the lineup were catcher James McCann — on a rehab stint from the Tigers — and Tyler Collins, who is trying to make his way back to Detroit or any other major-league team.

And that’s OK.

At Fifth Third Field — which is celebrating its 15-year anniversary in downtown Toledo — it’s not about the names.
