Franchise History
The Doubledays play home games at Leo Pinckney Field at Falcon Park. Falcon Park was opened in June 1995, replacing the original Falcon Park which was built in 1927. Falcon Park seats 2,800 fans. In 2008, new blue box seats were installed.
The team and its mascot are named after Abner Doubleday, the Civil War general and Auburn native credited with inventing the game of baseball. Abner wears number 96 in honor of the birth of the team in 1996.
