The Blue Sox' first home, 1943–45 · unlocated
The finding: This section ends its tests with the place that fails the most basic one: it cannot be found. For the Blue Sox' first three seasons the team played at Bendix Field, and the crowds were real — the historical marker annotation for the Blue Sox gives forty to fifty thousand spectators a season at the team's early ballparks — but no source in the record reached places the field on the ground: not the airport record, not the Bendix company's own chroniclers, not the county histories. The Mysteries history in this record ran the search twice and prints the blank, with one honest new datum from a National Register filing — the ground now called Kennedy Park was "known as Bendix Park during the New Deal" — which no source equates with the ball field. So the fame prints as exactly what it is: three seasons of a famous league, tens of thousands of documented spectators a year, and a site this record states no location for. A famous location with the location missing is still a location in the world's map of this city — it is simply one whose coordinates the record has lost, and the loss is the entry.
Cross-reference: Historical Mysteries (sb-mys-bendix-field) owns the search whole; the Airports history's negative contribution — the airport record does not settle it — stands with it. Nothing in this entry adds a location, and none should be assembled from it.
