Here is another abortion trying to fit a football field into a baseball stadium. Anyone recognize this mess?

County Stadium in Milwaukee, in the early days after the Braves moved there from Boston?

[NJHalo]

Correct! 

/Brewers/Packers

[Dick B Back]

Anyone recognize this place?

[Stradling]

If I had to guess I would say Tempe Diablo

 

[Stradling]

Or perhaps Palm Springs

[Dick B Back]

Sorry Strad, no and no.

From the architecture I'd guess Cubs at spring training in Avalon on Catalina?

Beat me to it, but that's what it is.

[NJHalo]

Philadelphia sports complex. Veteran's Stadium, The Spectrum, JFK Stadium.

All gone now. Should do that with the rest of the city as well.

[NJHalo]

Any guesses?

Correct!

I think a lot of younger folks don't know the Cubs used to hold spring training on Catalina. The PCL Angels were one of their main opponents.

The chair is on the wall in the 'Mall of America' in Minnesota. The Mall is loacted on the site of the old  Metropolitan Stadium where the Twins once played. The chair hangs on the wall at the exact location of the longest homer Harmon Killebrew ever hit at the stadium. I saw it several years ago when I visited family in Minnesota. There is also a home plate located somewhere in the Mall at the exact location of old Metropolitan Stadium's home plate, but I never did find that.

What a great story! And an equally great way to honor Killebrew.

No...don't think so. I've actually been to this ballpark many years ago. My Grandparents lived a couple hours from there. That's the Mississippi if that helps..

[Angel Oracle]

Hey, I had it half right (knowing it was on the Mississippi).

Yeah...it's Woodmen Park, in Davenport Iowa. Quad Cities. It's flooded many times, so many that they finally built a levy or flood wall around it, but even that doesn't help much in bad years.

That is some crazy weather in Iowa, between the hellacious hail, tornados, snow, and rain.

Who is the announcer?

Is this the only one nobody got?

Hint: He is announcing a World Series game.

[NJHalo]

Hawaii is correct. That is Aloha Stadium, which has the entire stadium convert from football to baseball by moving the entire grandstand.
