Holcomb Park 1930

All right, next up is Holcomb Park (aka Western League Park) in Des Moines, Iowa. Its claim to fame is that it was the (alleged) site of the first night game in Minor League history in 1930. I say alleged because there's a recent story that there was one slightly earlier in Kansas that perhaps aimed to scoop the well-publicized Iowa game, but apparently since all the media was concentrating on the well-publicized game that's the one that kept the claim as first.

In any case, I have a 1910s version of the park but figured a version from 1930 would be of more general interest so that's what I'm posting. If you do want the earlier version, which differs in its billboards and not having light posts, let me know!
