Prep teams head to the famous field that's right by the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum.

Since 1920, Doubleday Field has played host to thousands of baseball teams from across the country looking to get a taste of history at the venue just blocks from the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum.

MaxPreps photographer William Pine was there to capture images on April 17, when three high school games were played at the park. See some of the shots from the games featuring Rye Neck (Mamaroneck, N.Y.), Bethel (Conn.), Briarcliff (Briarcliff Manor, N.Y.) and Scarsdale (N.Y.), as well as Concord (N.H.) during its visit indoors to the Hall of Fame and Museum.

Take the slideshow tour, which goes in somewhat of a chronological order.
