Between the Old Time Baseball/LaRussa images kicking around, the pcballpark.com website, and some image editing on my part, I've got a decent full-color image for every single MLB park ever used from the mid-20th century onward.
Some of the short-lived ballparks don't have any good existing images out there, requiring more effort on my part. Here's what I'm using for L.A. Wrigley, which the Angels only played in for their inaugural season in '61. The pcballpark version was too cropped for my liking, so what I did was take that image, drop it over top of a Seals Stadium image, and then heavily retouch the left and right hand sides based on a couple pix of L.A. Wrigley on the web, "borrowing" some stuff from other images i found. Those large buildings beyond the right field parking lot are from Wrigley Field Chicago, with the color stripped out
I never thought to share them with anyone else because a) I don't play the game with the little portraits on, and the playing field would look too cluttered for anybody who does, and b) I'm never happy with my own work. Just now I'm looking at this image again and seeing stuff I think should be touched up. Anyway, I threw this on because maybe someone wouldn't mind using what I got for now. And L.A. Wrigley is obscure enough that you could use this in a fictional league and not feel too "distracted" by the park's familiarity... I guess?
