This photograph shows Springfield College's Berry-Allen Baseball Field. The field was named after two previous baseball coaches Archie P. Allen and Elmer Berry. Berry coached during the 1915-1917, 1919-1923, and 1925-1926 seasons. During his ten seasons of coaching, he had 79 victories and 62 losses. The field was originally named Berry Field and was dedicated on May 24, 1939. It eventually became known as the Berry-Allen field in recognition of Archie Allen, who coached from 1948-1972. After his 31 seasons, Allen had a total of 454 wins and 257 losses.
