Description: COBB FIELDCobb Field was a beloved baseball stadium in Billings, Montana, that served as a community cornerstone for nearly six decades. Opened in 1948 and named after Bob Cobb, a prominent local businessman and baseball advocate, the field had a capacity of about 4,000 seats. Cobb Field was modest in design, featuring wooden bleachers and a welcoming small-town feel that made fans feel right at home. Its rustic charm and simple amenities offered an intimate baseball experience, with fans close enough to the action to hear the crack of the bat and the cheers from the dugout. For generations, it was the go-to venue for warm summer evenings filled with baseball, hot dogs, and the echoes of cheering fans.The stadium served as the home field for the Billings Mustangs, a Rookie Advanced affiliate of the Cincinnati Reds in the Pioneer League, for many years. The Mustangs were the primary tenants at Cobb Field, and their games drew fans from all around the area, creating a loyal following. The Mustangs produced a wealth of future major leaguers, as the Pioneer League was often the first professional stop for newly drafted players. The likes of George Brett and Bret Saberhagen, who went on to have outstanding MLB careers, played their first pro games at Cobb Field. Over time, the stadium also hosted American Legion and high school games, making it a hub for baseball in Billings and helping develop the sport at the grassroots level.In 2007, Cobb Field saw its final season, as the facility was replaced with Dehler Park, a more modern stadium that opened in 2008 on the same site. While Cobb Field no longer stands, its legacy lives on in Billings baseball lore. For many locals, the memories of games under the Montana sky and the familiar hum of the stadium remain vivid, symbolizing the enduring love of baseball in the Billings community.Unused 4" x 6" chrome era postcard.
