Crosley Field - Cincinnati Oh

1997-Apr-11 Crosley Field 85th Anniversary - Cincinnati Oh 

Crosley Field was a Major League Baseball park in Cincinnati, Ohio. It was the home field of the National League's Cincinnati Reds from 1912 through June 24, 1970, and the original Cincinnati Bengals football team, members of the second (1937) and third American Football League (1940–41). Crosley has the distinction of being the first major-league park with lights for playing night games.

The field is named after Reds owner Powel Crosley Jr. after he bought the struggling Reds in 1934
