The first team to play at the fairgrounds was the Southeastern League's Meridian Scrappers who used the ballpark from 1937-1939. During their first two seasons, they were members of the St. Louis Browns organization. In 1939, they became a co-op team and in 1940, they changed their name to the Meridian Bears. In 1941, they changed their name again, this time to the Meridian Eagles and returned to the St. Louis Browns' umbrella. By 1942 they again were a co-op team. The league ceased operations due to the war after the 1942 season.
In 1946, the Southeastern League returned with the Meridian "Peps", which were members of the Brooklyn Dodgers association. The Peps represented the Dodgers for only one season before switching affiliations to the Cleveland Indians, where they remained from 1947 until 1948. In 1949, the team again went co-op and changed their name for the 5th time. Now, they were known as the Meridian Millers. They remained in the Southeastern League until 1950, when the league finally folded.
With the Class B Southeastern League permanently defunct, the Meridian Millers found themselves without a league to play in, and sat out the 1951 season. In 1952, a spot opened in the Class C Cotton States League, when the Clarksdale Planters ceased operations. Meridian hadn't played in the Cotton States League since 1929. They kept the name Meridian Millers, and instead, changed the name of the stadium from Fairgrounds Field to Buckwalter Stadium. They remained in the Cotton States League as a co-op team until 1955 when they moved to Vicksburg.

FYI, my friend's father Frank Bocek played with the Meridian Scrappers in this run down stadium in 1949 four years after World War 2 ended. My friend told me that a little over one thousand people would pack into this stadium during their home games. It's amazing to think that many people went to that place that today is just a bunch of trees and plants.

So just a little info from growing up there. I am 33. It was already abandoned when I was very young. We used to hang out and explore that and the old drive-in movie theater next to it. The fair grounds next to it were used for the annual fair until I was about 12ish, then it was entirely abandoned when the fair stated being held at the ag center outside of town. Royal Land Gates, where you started the video were long abandoned when I was hanging out there. We used the Fair-Ground gates and hopped the fence. The things I know that are still there... The Gates, stadium, Drive-In the Screen and the old projector house/concession stands, an old track, An old barn, The ticket booths, the security house and some remains of smaller buildings. Its a cool place but be warned the do not allow people on the property and if you get caught, you will get arrested. Hey also there is an abandoned mall just across the highway. Its in good shape for being abandoned for 22 years. I think someone said they put in a security system but like 10 years ago, there wasnt one and we broke in twice. You have to climb up the onto the roof and go down an old utility hatch to get in though. Its really cool. Its a 70-80 time capsule.

I'm not a baseball fan, but I did appreciate your comments about the players and teams, in my own naïve way. Your poignant comments really resonated with me. I could almost imagine or even see in my mind's eye, thousands of people sitting on those wooden bleachers and cheering on their favourite team.

Edit: back here about 10 months later after some comments from others alerted me to the video. Seeing it now, I want to fix this place up EVEN MORE than the first time! Lol. Some cans of paint for the bleachers. Sanders to sand the wood seats. Carpenters to rebuild the ticket booth. A bobcat to clean the field and parking lot up. It is like it is calling my name like the field of dreams! 😁

The Meridian Millers were in the Cotton States League in the early 1950's, which was a Class C league that included the Jackson Senators. I believe they were at one time in the Class B Southeastern League before my time. 1 million thank yous for posting this video. My uncle was a major league baseball scout for the Brooklyn/Los Angeles Dodgers and for a brief time with Pittsburgh. He took me to about 30-40 games a year when school was out for summer. Baseball was THE sport in America then, and many towns like Meridian had local teams with a lot of support. Too bad that the low minors will contract further in 2021. Having played in the Pioneer League in Ogden, there were a couple players in this league that made it to the Majors, such as Steve Yeager, Randy Bobb, and maybe a half dozen Giants' prospects at SLC that year, including Dave Rader, Pepe Frias, Don Carrithers, Gary Lavelle, and Jim Willoughby.

I've seen a few local stadiums like this one. The style of this one, seemed to be all over the country. Not sure if many others are standing or have been torn down. Way too much history, all over the world, is now hidden or gone completely.

The city’s historical society should preserve that site for civic pride. Contact MLB or the Dodgers for funding. Curious to see the original renderings for that ⚾️ stadium.

This is an awesome find. And very sad. There was several HOF that actually played on that field and for that team. I am a sports fanatic and as so as I watched your video I started researching and found that some of the players were actually buried in Kentucky which is my home state. I really enjoy your stories.
