League Park, Cleveland

League Park

In making a trip to Cleveland to see the last series played in old Municipal Stadium, some of the staff (though they actually weren't back then) of ebaseballparks.com made a pilgrimage to the Indians former home. Situated at the crossing of Lexington & 66th, there are scattered remains of a neighborhood ballpark. Unfortunately, as you can see in this image, there is a chain linked fence directly in front of the Ohio Historical Marker. It made getting a clear picture impossible. The field and part of the right field pavilion remain.

In the image below, there is a modern view of the old ticket office. You can make out the name League Park Center over the door on the right.

In the image below, there is a similar perspective from a postcard from around the 1920's. The ticket office building actually existed on the site prior to the construction of League Park. The ballpark was actually built around the structure and then incorporated it into the plan.

Here is all that remains of the right field stands. This section would be just behind first base, with the end of the dugout on the left. The layout of the infield is unchanged from when the Tribe played there.

Commissioner's Note: There was some municipal work done at the location during the summer of 2003. It is unclear as to what currently remains at the site.
