Ballpark | Bowen Field at Peters Park (1946–1955, 1957–2020) |
The Bluefield Blue Jays were a minor league baseball team of the Rookie Appalachian League representing the twin cities of Bluefield, West Virginia, and Bluefield, Virginia.[1] The team played their home games at Bowen Field at Peters Park, a historic stadium (opened in 1939) in Bluefield's city park. The park, which straddles the West Virginia–Virginia state line, was operated by the West Virginia city; however, Bowen Field lies entirely within Virginia.
Upon the minor league reorganization in 2020, the team's partnership with the Toronto Blue Jays ended and they became the Bluefield Ridge Runners.
