Ballparks long gone...

No, I don't have all the ballpark pictures of the 1903-1957 PCL. I do have a few, but many are long gone from memory as well as film. 30+ ballparks served PCL in those years, but so few photos, if even taken, survived.

From the very beginning of this project, I knew the ballparks would be a problem. Photos didn't exist and even creating representations would be both a guess and a massive undertaking.

I think I prefer to leave that project to someone else if they wish to accept the challenge - but what I HAVE done is made a pen and ink representation of Rickwood Field which dates back to 1910 and is a good sample of the type parks of the times. I'm attaching it here for anyone to grab if you wish, and will be using the picture as my default ballpark for all PCL home games. Once I get into a time period where other parks are available, I may suppliment what I use in the game.
