You can read Part I of the Old Ballpark series here, Part II here, and Part III here.
This is the fourth installment of my off-season tour of old, long-gone ballparks. As one reader said, most of these parks really weren’t that great. While that may be true when comparing them to modern ballparks, at the day and age when they were built, these structures were state-of-the-art marvels. By the time most of us came of age, in the 1970s and ’80s, many of these old structures were starting to show their age, from a combination of neglect and plain old wear and tear.
