Fraser Field is a baseball park in Lynn, Massachusetts that was built in 1940 by the Works Progress Administration as part of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal. Fraser Field has played host to many minor-league baseball teams over the years.
Beyond centerfield is the adjacent Manning Field, which replaced the old Manning Bowl.
The North Shore Navigators of the Futures Collegiate Baseball League call Fraser Field home. 2008 was the Navigators' inaugural season at Fraser, having moved from Holyoke, Massachusetts, and the organization won its first NECBL title since the move to Lynn in 2010.
Fraser Field hosted the Massachusetts Mad Dogs from 1995-1997 and the North Shore Spirit from 2003-2007.
In 2006 and 2007, the opening round of the Beanpot, a college baseball tournament featuring Boston College, Northeastern University, The University of Massachusetts, and Harvard University, were played at Fraser Field.
