For the 20th consecutive season, the home of Saint Joseph's University baseball is Elmwood Park's Latshaw-McCarthy Field in Norristown, Pa. Originally laid out in 1938, the field was being rebuilt when the Hawks moved in for the 1990 season. The park's dimensions measure 328 feet to the foul poles and 393 feet to center field.
It is named to recognize Dan Latshaw, a player who died at the site in 1940, and Red McCarthy, the late sports editor of the Norristown Times Herald. The Elmwood Park complex includes numerous park and recreation facilities, including the Elmwood Park Zoo. The road behind the left field fence is named after Hall of Fame manager Tommy Lasorda, a native of Norristown.
One of the finest baseball facilities in the region, it features a large press box, major league size dugouts, and a fully electronic scoreboard. It is equipped with seating for approximately 1000 fans.
Saint Joseph's University acquired the Maguire Campus in the Fall of 2008, and a new baseball field will be constructed there for the future. Until completion, the Hawks will continue playing at Latshaw-McCarthy Field.
