This incredibly beautiful million dollar ballpark is a memorial to the young local boy “David Allen” who dreamed of becoming a pro ball player but left this earth before he ever got the chance
Horror Author Steven King’s personal “pro style” baseball stadium built into his back yard as a home for youth and amateur ball for the residents of Bangor Maine to use.
An amazing ballpark built by the late great baseball man Jerry Patterson. This ballpark was designed to bring a more “minor league” feel to the youth leagues and get them very excited about the game of baseball.
One of the oldest ballparks in the entire world, this grandstand supposedly dates back to 1910 and there are plenty of rumors that Babe Ruth played here often with the Boston Red Sox in exhibition.
One of the last remaining “industry league ballparks” left in the world, this ballpark built in 1925, by Harry S. Firestone for the “tire league”. Has recently served as home for Team USA Softball as well as the Racers pro softball team
Horror Author Steven King’s personal “pro style” baseball stadium built into his back yard as a home for youth and amateur ball for the residents of Bangor Maine to use.
This mini version of the Brewers “Miller Field” is built on the grounds of Milwaukee’s beloved Major League team. With amazing views of the stadium, this youth park sets a young man’s sights exactly on what he can one day achieve.
Cadwell Park is the biggest “amateur tournament” home in South Dakota… home to the South Dakota Amateur State Tournament every season.
A stunning WPA ballpark tucked into the eastern plains of Montana. Denton Field probably was intended to be a professional baseball stadium, but pro ball never came this far east so this stunning place has been amateur ever since
The only stadium in the world to be built completely out of red rock… this home to the famed barnstorming Elk City Elks… an amateur ballclub which has been around for over half a century. Amazing that this place never saw pro ball…
This completely wooden ballpark is a time machine. Stepping into it takes you back to the earliest days of ballpark design. Though it never saw pro ball, it stands as a perfect specimen of early 20th century baseball architecture.
A Mini version of Connie Mack Stadium built in the 1930’s with a terrifying Centerfield which rises up nearly a full story high.
Is it a log cabin or a ballpark? This lovely stadium hidden in the little town of Breda Iowa is home to the American Legion who are lucky enough to play in one of the prettiest parks we’ve ever seen.
A ballpark which seemingly had to be built for professional ball in 1949, never came to pass. Instead this stunning mint condition ballpark, which looks like it just opened takes us back in time to the late 40’s .
Mando Field is a small ballpark built in North Carolina. It is relatively small, seating only about 400-500 but shows just how lovely and ornate a modern day amateur park can be and is hopefully where amateur design is going….
