Ellsworth Park

Teflon · 01-25-2004, 07:20 PM

Built at the turn of the century, Ellsworth Park reflects its era. The fences are deep and the walls are high to protect the park’s near-by neighbors. Homeruns are still a rare commodity in the 1900’s, so the hitters of that day would not find fault with the configuration. If anything, they would appreciate the spacious power alleys that enable them to leg out more doubles and triples. Accordingly, outfielders playing in roomy Ellsworth Park are well-served if fleet-of-foot.

The stadium seats 22,320. A roofed section of box seats wraps around the infield with bleacher seats extending down the lines to the foul poles. The park is constrained by its surrounding neighborhood, so the designer had to be imaginative in the placement of additional seating. An elevated center field grandstand was built to protrude slightly over the field of play so as not to interfere with the street beyond. Thus a ball hit into the grandstand, some 417 feet from home plate and 8 feet above the field, is a home run, while a ball that is hit over the center fielder’s head a somewhat shorter distance can potentially roll to a farther extent under the grandstand. It requires brave fielders to chase a fly ball at full speed to deep center as the grandstand supports provide a rude interruption to unwary fielders.

The manual scoreboard in left field sits atop a deck that extends the length of the left field wall. This enables four rows of seats to fit in beneath. Any batted ball landing in the seats or on the deck is a ground-rule double. Thus, a ball hit to left field must completely clear the 25 foot wall or 29 foot scoreboard to be considered a homerun.

The wooden wall in right field is 16 feet high topped by a 4 foot screen to shield the nearby street and houses from baseballs. Lefty sluggers still aim to pull the ball, however, in the hopes of rattling easy doubles off of it.

Ellsworth Park saw many years of service, eventually having a second deck added to the infield seating in the 1930’s, and lights added in the 1940’s.

Notes: For OOTP users, all default fielder and batter position coordinates from the generic field will work fine with the ballpark graphic in the next post. Fence distances and wall heights are included on the image in this post. Factors for setting up this park are: 2B -111; 3B – 119; RBA – 98; RHR-84; LBA – 97; LHR – 83. Foul Territory is neutral. Set up all other factors to your choosing.

Teflon,

I've got a few questions I'd like to ask you if you'd email me at volunteer1967@hotmail.com

You don't have PM or email enabled here on the board.

Thanks.

Cuss16 · 01-25-2004, 08:37 PM

you gotta be kidding me, the great teflon is back, nice park and welcome back.

HolyCow98 · 01-25-2004, 08:38 PM

I was a bit skeptical when I saw the thread starter of "Teflon" instead of your old one....but when I saw the design...and especially the write up.....I was like "TEFLON!!!!"

Glad to see your alive and well....and still churning out some high-quality fictional parks. Had the feeling you may have moved on to other games...or just got burned out on OOTP...but happy to see your still around.

Not going to ask if your going to do any more....but everyone would love it if you did....

Welcome back!!!

cknox0723 · 01-25-2004, 08:44 PM

Add my praise to everyone else's. Thrilled to see your fantastic work once again. If you ever need anything from us mere peons, don't hesitate to ask.
