Title

Dunn Field 1909 CP02740

Description

Fans attend a baseball game at League Park (aka Dunn Field), which opened on May 1, 1891 with Cy Young pitching for the Cleveland Spiders before 9,000 fans. The park is located at the corner of Lexington Avenue and E. 66th Street in Cleveland's Hough neighborhood. It was later the home of the Cleveland Indians, among other teams. In 1910, it was rebuilt into a modern steel and concrete structure with seating for over 21,000. In 1916, team owner Sunny Jim Dunn renamed the park Dunn Field. It reverted back to League Park in 1927, when the franchise was sold again. Following the demise of the Negro American League Cleveland Buckeyes after the 1950 season, League Park was no longer used as a regular sports venue. Most of the structure was demolished in 1951, according to Wikipedia. The site is now a public park.
