Belleville, IL

From BR Bullpen

Belleville is located in southern Illinois, 20 miles east of St. Louis, MO. It is the county seat of St. Clair County, IL. Scott Air Force Base, IL is located immediately east of the city.

The St. Louis Stars of the Negro American League played some games here, using Belleville Athletic Field (later known as Stags Park) as an alternate home field when they were unable to use Sportsman's Park. On June 29, 1941, Gene Smith pitched a no-hitter in an interleague game against the New York Black Yankees, winning 6-1. After 1941, some Negro leagues neutral-site games were played here, mostly between NAL teams.
