Luther Williams Field

Luther Williams Field in Macon, GA, was the home of Macon affiliated baseball from 1929 through 2002. After, the Macon Braves of the South Atlantic League began playing in a new ballpark in Rome, GA, as the Rome Braves.

A recent study said Macon can support professional baseball but did not specify whether in this historic park or a new one. The ballpark's summer collegiate team revived the long-time Macon Peaches brand for a day in 2019, the ballpark's 90th season. Williams was mayor when it opened in 1929, and it joined the National Register of Historic Places in 2004. A sign at one entrance - "Macon Base Ball Park" - shows its age, yet Macon professional baseball pre-dates that sign by more than four decades.

Unlike its older sibling - Rickwood Field in Birmingham, AL - it hasn't hosted an affiliated game since losing its Braves. It has been a shooting location of the films The Bingo Long Traveling All-Stars & Motor Kings (1976), Trouble with the Curve (2012) and 42 (2013), and the TV series Brockmire (2017-2020).
