Here's my take at Huntington Avenue Grounds

Pictures of the park were really hard to come by; I did a lot of interpretation. Here's the final result:

Ry,

Thank you for your effort. I really should have included the information on Huntington in my communication to you.

I am attaching a series of photos and a diagram with detailed info on the park given directly below.

Huntington Avenue Baseball Grounds Historical Analysis
The Huntington Avenue Baseball Grounds was built for $35,000 in 1901. Ground was broken on March 9, 1901 and the first game was played just over two months later on May 8, 1901. A near capacity crowd entered the one turnstile, through the one entrance, and watched Cy Young's Boston Americans (now the Boston Red Sox) crush Connie Macks' Philadelphia Athletics (now the Oakland Athletics) 12-4.
The Huntington Avenue Baseball Grounds was the scene of the first ever modern World Series (picture below) and a plaque at Northeastern University now commemorates the location of the site that was once home of the first American League Boston franchise.
