Crosley Field Terrace had unique charm

Thousands of fans will flock to the Great American Ball Park in Cincinnati for Monday's 2015 Gillette Home Run Derby presented by Head & Shoulders and Tuesday's All-Star Game presented by T-Mobile.

They'll pass through the "Crosley Terrace" monument area outside the stadium's main entrance and see the statues of Reds stars Joe Nuxhall, Ernie Lombardi, Ted Kluszewski and Frank Robinson playing a game on the plaza. They may even note the detail in the bronzes -- Kluszewski's uniform sleeves are famously cut off to reveal his biceps. And hopefully the older fans among them -- those who actually saw games at old Crosley Field -- will stop and remember the park, and talk to some of the younger ones about the anomaly that was the real Crosley Terrace.
