Nearly 21,000 fans attended the deciding Game 5 of the 1936 "World Series" of American Legion baseball at Duncan Park when Spartanburg defeated Los Angeles.

Other major league standouts played in Duncan Park on their way to the show, including Larry Bowa, Ryne Sandberg, Dale Murphy, and Tom Glavine.

In addition, several Negro league baseball stars also visited Duncan Park on barnstorming tours, including Hank Aaron, Satchel Paige, Larry Doby, and Jackie Robinson.

In addition, drainage was improved, rotten wood was replaced, new box seats were installed, the stadium was repainted and a new scoreboard was erected.
