092 - Burnett Field: Oak Cliff’s Forgotten Baseball Diamonds
Before Arlington became North Texas’s baseball destination, the game belonged to Oak Cliff. In this episode of Hidden City, we uncover the intertwined histories of Burnett Field and Riverside Park - two ballparks just blocks apart, divided by segregation. From the Dallas Black Giants and a stadium fire that briefly brought the white team into their ballpark to Dave Hoskins’s extraordinary 1952 season breaking the Texas League’s color barrier, this is a story of baseball, courage, and the places Dallas forgot.
