In a classic 84-year-old ballpark in the small west central Iowa town Rippey, kids from 7 to their 70s are again discovering the joy of playing the grand ol’ game.
Love this. And I agree with Kathi. That’s exactly how baseball is supposed to be. It’s a beautiful, thoughtful game. I don’t care about launch angles or spin rates. Give me a well-played game on a beautiful field.
Thank you, Chuck, for this tribute to Rippey’s baseball field. Many volunteer hours by many volunteers and many contributions by caring citizens near and far make it the place to enjoy baseball. July 20, 2024 will be a special day including baseball and fireworks! Come and join the fun!
Great story! Thanks for spreading the word about the amazing job they've done with that field in Rippey. Rippey is one of my favorite stops on the Mid-Iowa Baseball League circuit!

Chuck, you did a great job catching all that is good about the Rippey Baseball Park. Talk about Pixie Dust!
Larry and I had the best time. Thanks for the invitation to tag along!
Great lights, 372 dead center, fabulous history and brats. SRO of the mind.
I love this story. The Rippey field sounds more authentic and enjoyable than Field of Dreams. I agree: this is what baseball is supposed to be!
