Eddie Pellagrini Diamond is a baseball stadium at the Harrington Athletics Village located in Boston College in Boston, Massachusetts, United States.
History
[edit]Boston College constructed the new Eddie Pellagrini Diamond as part of an effort to improve the facilities of its athletic programs. The Board of Trustees deemed the previous Shea Field to be inadequate for the Atlantic Coast Conference standards and immediately launched plans for a new facility.[2] The field was built on land which belonged to St. John's Seminary before being purchased by Boston College between 2004 and 2007.[3]
The Brighton Baseball Field was slated to open on March 13, 2018, in Boston College's home opener against Holy Cross but was canceled due to a nor'easter.[4] The stadium opened a week later on March 20, when the Eagles hosted cross-town opponents Northeastern in a non-conference matchup that Northeastern won 7–4 in 18 innings.[5]
The complex that encompasses Eddie Pellagrini Diamond is dedicated to John L. Harrington, Boston College Trustee and former CEO of the Boston Red Sox.[6]
Facilities
[edit]Eddie Pellagrini Diamond utilizes AstroTurf Diamond Series for an artificial turf playing surface. The stadium has 1,000 fixed seat-back chairs but capacity can be expanded to 2,500 for championship events. The stadium has lights sufficient for night games.[1]

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
