Riverside Park--located along the banks of the scenic Watauga River--was renamed Joe O'Brien Field in 1980. O'Brien organized the Cherokee Athletic Association, and served as director from 1931-1959; for the last 15 years, he was also president. He arranged for the Minnesota Twins to establish their rookie league team in Elizabethton, and was chairman of the Elizabethton Twins Baseball Committee until 1981.
