Farewell, Allie P.: Holliday, Cowboys share favorite memories in beloved ballpark as last games approach

The scoreboard’s skeleton stands behind the green right-field wall in the modest ballpark brimming with history.

Josh Holliday, the Oklahoma State baseball coach, stared toward the outfield and pointed toward the frame as the memory of a milestone rushed to him. When the black posts supported a scoreboard instead of three large company logos, Holliday, then 13, hit his first out-of-the-park home run. Holliday had discovered how to bat left-handed, emulating his OSU hero Robin Ventura, and he showcased his new talent at baseball camp. The ball drifted above the right-field wall and clanked against the scoreboard in the ballpark that raised him.
