Fans of Valley Field AKA Sullivans Field
“Land is transferred from Grand Rapids Public Schools to the City to create Sullivan (Valley) Field. Many baseball teams played at the field, including the American Seating Company team, the Seaters. The field was renamed Sullivan Field in 1996 to honor Bob Sullivan, a long time amateur baseball sponsor. The Grand Rapids Sullivans were a Grand Rapids-based baseball team owned and managed by Bob Sullivan and affiliated with the National Baseball Congress.”
