Artifact Overview

Captions can be deceiving. This postcard shows League Park in Cleveland, Ohio, not a baseball park in Detroit, Michigan. League Park was a major league ballpark from 1891 to 1946. Beginning in 1901 the park was home to Cleveland's American League team. The park was rebuilt in 1910. The brick ticket house seen in this postcard still stands.
