The purpose of this map, really, is to indulge my love of both baseball and nostalgia. When I moved to New York City almost two decades ago, I became enamored with the history sitting alongside the every-changing present.
Overall, my goal for this map is simple: to show both the current and a select group of historic stadiums throughout New York City. These stadiums include both major and minor league teams, as well as other professional leagues.
In making this map, my hope is simply to showcase the location of these stadiums through New York City, along with some basic information,including
the teams that played there, the stadium's build date (and end date), and a photograph or representative picture, all of which were found using internet sources (see below).
Enjoy this baseball tour of New York City...let's play ball!
I used a variety of web resources to track down both information and photographs of these stadiums, past and present.
The majority of the information came from BrooklynBallParks.com.
