Now I have to go find those cement blocks, and when things get back to normal find some excuse to see those archives at U Mass.
I grew up in Waltham and I played little league at those fields. My parents still live there. If you are driving down South Street you would turn onto Dartmouth Street. I do not know which way you would go, but Dartmouth St appears to dead end at the Senior little league field. It actually continues to the left and runs along the right field line of the larger field, what we knew as Connie Mack. The blocks should be in the trees along the third base line / left field. If you go there you will also be around the corner from Mount Feake Cemetery. It is the burial place of Effie Carlton who wrote "Rock a Bye Baby" and a Civil War Medal of Honor Recipient. It is across the Charles from the Waltham Watch factory.
