Here are some classic postcards from National League ballparks: West Side Park, Chicago, IL -- the Cubs' home prior to Wrigley Field. Wrigley Field from the air, probably from the late 1940s or early 1950s. Crosley Field, Cincinnati, circa 1941. Note primitive light towers! Aerial view of Crosley Field, published a year or two before it was replaced by Riverfront Stadium. County Stadium, Milwaukee, WI, published 1957. A rare view of Montreal's Jarry Park, predecessor to Olympic Stadium. The Polo Grounds, New York, in a view from the early 1910s. Note John McGraw in the inset. Polo Grounds, circa 1937. Forbes Field, Pittsburgh, PA -- card postmarked 1910, the year after it opened. 1941 view of a night game at Forbes Field. The American League ballpark postcards are over here. I'll be posting more during the offseason. Back to Doug's Baseball Photos Menu Back to Doug's Business of Baseball Pages Back to ROADSIDEPHOTOS.COM home page |
