Worcester Agricultural Fairgrounds

As a major-league ballpark, the site is usually referred to as Agricultural County Fair Grounds or Worcester Driving Park.

Today, the former fairgrounds property contains a grid of streets, and many homes and businesses, including the now closed Becker College.

These included an exhibition between the National Association (NA) pennant winner Boston Red Stockings and runner-up Philadelphia Whites, played on October 30, 1873, after the end of the season—Boston prevailed, 15–9, before a crowd of 2,000.

[4][5] A regular-season NA contest was held at Driving Park on October 30, 1874, between Boston and the Hartford Dark Blues.

On June 12, 1880, Worcester pitcher Lee Richmond threw the first perfect game in major-league history.
