The Ballpark Brothers website has reviews of hundreds of baseball stadiums. This summer, Povich Field received a rating of four and a half hot dogs out of five. “Shirley Povich Field is Major League classy on a small-town field,” reported the brothers. “Taking in a Big Train game while one is in the DC area is highly recommended.” They really liked the “very cool M*A*S*H-esque mileage post” that celebrates all the Big Train players who have made it to the major leagues.
