Answer: Huntington Avenue Grounds

This ballpark featured a 635 ft deep centerfield but only a 280 ft deep right field. It was open from 1901-1911. The first World Series game was played here October 1, 1903.

2. Which ballpark was the first to draw 2 million fans?

It was not until 1946 that the Yankees achieved this feat....well after the glory days of the Babe.

3. Which ballpark had a free view of their games from Coogan's Bluff?

Located in upper Manhattan, this ballpark was home to the New York Giants, New York Yankees and even the New York Mets. Home plate was at the foot of a cliff known as "Coogan's Bluff".

4. Which ballpark featured a statue of Roberto Clemente on its grounds?

Answer: Three Rivers Stadium

The home of the Pittsburgh Pirates (1970-2001), was located at the point where the Allegheny and Monongahela Rivers meet to form the Ohio River. Of course, Roberto Clemente was one of the Pirate's brightest stars.

5. Which ballpark hosted the most All Star Games?

The "Mistake by the Lake" hosted 4 All Star Games....1935, 1954, 1963 and 1981.

6. Which ballpark hosted the first night game in the Major Leagues?

Answer: Crosley Field

In 1935, the Cincinnati Reds installed the lights to help with poor attendance. The Reds beat the Philadelhia Phillies 2-1 that night.

7. Which American League ballpark was the last to install lights?

Answer: Tiger Stadium

It was not until 1948 that the Detroit Tigers were able to play home games under the lights, 13 years after the Reds started it all. Wrigley Field, although a NL ballpark, waited until 1988, another 40 years to install their lights!

8. Which ballpark features a flag hanging in centerfield which indicates the result of that day's game?

Answer: Wrigley Field

The Chicago Cubs hang a white flag with a blue "W" if the Cubbies win.

9. Which ballpark had a streak of 11 full seasons without a rainout?

Answer: Dodger Stadium

It is hard to believe, but the Los Angeles Dodgers did not have a single rainout from April 1988 to April 1999.

10. Which ballpark features a seat painted bright red to signify the longest home run hit inside its confines?

Answer: Fenway Park

Ted Williams of the Boston Red Sox hit the longest homerun in Fenway Park in 1946. The "Splendid Splinter" crushed this home run 502 feet and it landed in the right field bleachers....39 rows back. As a longtime Red Sox fan, I have not seen one hit even as far as 20 rows back!
