Title

Parks-League 1905 CP03800

Description

Policemen are shown drilling at League Park. League Park 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. 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 now a public park.
