The facility may have existed prior to 1948, as a dedication plaque acknowledges Jake Shelly for having introduced semi-pro ball to the site in the mid-1930s. The field itself is dedicated to Joseph “Dobbie” Weaver, a high school coach who died in 1963 at age 70. I do not know if the field was named for Weaver before his death. I also do not know if there was once a third-base grandstand. The existing bleacher runs along the first-base side.
