League Park

The ground sits where East 66th Street meets Lexington Avenue in the Hough neighbourhood. It is now part of Fannie Lewis Community Park.

That reconstruction introduced a concrete and steel skeleton and what was said to be the first electronic scoreboard in baseball, the Joss Indicator. The right-field wall rose forty to forty-five feet, covered in chicken wire.

The Indians called it home from 1901 until 1946, with a brief gap between 1932 and 1934. They won their first World Series here in 1920, when Elmer Smith hit the first grand slam in championship history and Jim Bagby became the first pitcher to hit a home run in the Fall Classic. Joe DiMaggio extended his record fifty-six-game hitting streak to fifty-six games here in July 1941. The final major league game was played on September 21, 1946, making it the last baseball stadium in the country to operate without permanent floodlights.

The Cleveland Rams also used the ground for American football matches in 1937, 1942, and 1944–1945. The Buckeyes of the Negro American League played here between 1942 and 1950. Between 1921 and 1927 the venue carried the name Dunn Field.

The pitch remains natural grass. The city invested $6.3 million in restoring the site in 2014.
