Listen to this article By MATT HARADEN, OLIVIA JANIK and KYROS MORALES HAGERSTOWN – The new ballpark under construction here is the latest effort to bring baseball back to a town that has a rich history tied to the game. But the project is also an attempt to revitalize a city core that has been deteriorating for decades. The ballpark—a project sought by local leaders for two decades—will serve as the home to a new minor league baseball team that will be a member of the Atlantic League. The stadium will also host other sporting and cultural events.
