Police: Waseca historic ballfield fire likely arson

Police in Waseca said Monday the fire that destroyed part of a historic ball field earlier this month was intentionally set.

Tink Larson Field's grandstands burned on April 6.

The southern Minnesota city and the state Chapter of the International Association of Arson Investigators are offering a $10,000 reward for information leading to arrest and conviction.

The police department adds that a man seen near the ballfield is not a suspect, but investigators are interviewing others who might have seen what happened.
