Thurman Munson Memorial Stadium is a stadium in Canton, Ohio, United States, primarily used for baseball. The facility is named after former Major League Baseball player Thurman Munson, who grew up in Canton. Munson was a catcher for the New York Yankees who was killed when his private plane was attempting to land at Akron–Canton Airport in Summit County on August 2, 1979. Munson's number 15 is displayed on the center field wall. Originally built as the home of the minor league Canton–Akron Indians, it has since hosted other minor league teams, as well has college, high school, and amateur baseball.
