Hello, Yes, the oval did used to be used for a baseball field. There used to be games there and there used to be a consession wagon or some sort of consession accomodation where food could be bought during games. I am trying to recall this information from 55 years ago, so please bear with me. The oval was in back of Coburn Ave in Worcester. I lived at 208 Coburn Ave and if I remember right, we used to walk across the street and take a littl side street to get to the oval. If you look across the street from 208 Coburn Ave, the oval was down in back of those houses. I have heard it is still there, but something might be built on it now. A real shame!! I'm sure if you talk to some of the residents in that area, they could give you more information. Thanks for remembering the OVAL.

I would like to add to this one, The oval is now St. Georges Cathedrial, all the property has been sold to them and no signs of the oval exist today

I believe that,in the late 1950's and early 1960's, the OVAL was owned by St. John's High School. At least, that's where the baseball team played around that time. The school had been on Temple St. in Worcester and then moved to Shrewsbury in about 1961. More information might be obtained by calling the school.
