I was fortunate to go to all three ball parks. Polo Grounds was
cavernous; Ebbets Field was vintage band box.....both had classic
originality; the first Yankee Stadium was awe inspiring with those
statues on the playing field. Not much of a fan of the newer Bronx stadiums.....cold and dreary.

Looks like it was a beautiful stadium, It was demolished in 1964 after the Mets played there. Sorry I never got the chance to see it.
It lists CF as 455 feet but it looks a lot further than that......

Did you know the CF Fence was moved (change in distance) 20 times from 1911 to 1963..?
