The largely covered grandstand is constructed of metal, and the seating capacity is about 6,800. For years power hitters have tried to clout one far enough to land in a passing rail car. It isn't clear if anyone actually did it, but Luke Easter and Dave Parker are among those who reportedly came close. Since 1987 Charleston has been a member of the single-A South Atlantic League and a Cincinnati affiliate. This scene: 1989.
