 I really like this one. An aerial shot of Dodger Stadium as the sun sets.

 Here is one of what the Polo Grounds from different perspectives. From above to what the decks looked like from a side view. From the diagram, year says 1952. Enjoy.

 This from the Baker Bowl in Philadelphia, home of the Phillies from 1887-1938.  This shot shows Dolph Camilli crossing home plate after hitting a home run to put the Brooklyn Dodgers up 3-2 on their way to a 12-5 win on April 19, 1938. Phillies finished the season 45-105. They end up moving to Shibe park on July 4th, 1938, sharing with the A's.

 This is the Polo Grounds from 1911. It was rebuilt on this site after a fire close to destroyed the previous building. This is looking across the Harlem River looking at the south Bronx.

 This morning, Alexander Ovechkin became the greatest goal scorer in the NHL, scoring #895 in today's 4-1 loss to the New York Islanders. Like him or hate him, you gotta respect this. Congrats.

From old time baseball photos. Here is a rare color photo of Ebbets Field from April 5, 1913. Brooklyn Dodgers beat the New York Yankees 3-2 in an exhibition game in front of 25000 people. Enjoy.

 Kansas City Municipal Stadium was opened from 1923-1976. It was built for the Blues of the American Association. It also hosted the Monarchs of the Negro leagues, the A's (1955-1967) and the Royals (1969-1972). Also housed the Chiefs from 1963-1971. The Chiefs moved into Arrowhead Stadium for the 1972 season and the Royals moved into Royals (now Kauffman) stadium in 1973. Here is Municipal Stadium in Kansas City.
