Alpine, Texas, West Texas to be correct.
Home of a piece of living history: Kokernot Field.
The Alpine Independent School District currently owns the field once called the ‘Yankee Stadium of Texas’. 
The Alpine Cowboys played semi-pro or minor league ball back in the day and as of four years ago they are back on the field again as a part of Pecos League baseball.
The stadium was constructed in 1947 by Big Bend rancher Herbert Lee Kokernot Jr. for his semi-professional baseball team.
Satchel Paige pitched at Kokernot Field. Norm Cash and Gaylord Perry both played ball here as well.
A chilly windy night blew me away after three innings with the Alpine Fightin’ Bucks firmly in control of the game and score over the visiting team from Crane, Texas.
