The Hornets had a rich history in Charlotte, and the park was a central venue for the team's games until it was destroyed by fire in 1985. The park also hosted other minor league teams, including the Charlotte Orioles, who played there during the 1970s and early 1980s.Several notable players graced the field at Clark Griffith Park, many of whom went on to have successful Major League Baseball careers. Cal Ripken Jr., one of baseball's all-time greats, played for the Charlotte Orioles early in his career before becoming a Hall of Famer with the Baltimore Orioles. Another notable player was Eddie Murray, also a future Hall of Famer, who showcased his talents at the park before establishing himself as one of the most consistent hitters in MLB history.Clark Griffith Park was more than just a baseball stadium; it was a community gathering place and a significant part of Charlotte's sports history.
