“If you build it they will come,” says the famous line in the movie “Field of Dreams.” However, when it comes to restoring the old William Biles baseball field, there will be no such field of dreams as the county’s Building and Grounds Committee nixed the idea of restoring the field located behind the county government building.“It would take several hundred dollars, if not thousands, to fix up that field,” said committee chairman Carl E. Bouldin during a meeting.The idea of the ball field was brought up after requests were made to use the field for baseball and football practice. The field is located in a hollow behind the county government building on Locust Street.
