Baseball Field History,
The Evolution of Our Fields of Dreams
Baseball field history
Carl Bennett here and I am a avid baseball fan who loves the game of baseball. I have loved if for my entire life and suppose it will be part of me forever. The Game of Baseball and is more than what many described as America's game. It is, in my opinion, the Greatest game ever invented.
I am a champion of the growth of the game of Baseball and offer this Blog, "Baseball Field History", as a tribute to the best baseball baseball players who have ever played the game. I challenge any of the best athletics in the world to come play this game and help take it to the Next Level.
My father was born in 1895, at a time when Baseball suffered the painful effects of racial segregation in America. I still remember listening to him talking about wanting to play baseball in the old Negro Leagues.

I am a baseball fan, just like you, who will give you a look at the history of baseball with a view from between the lines.
Starting with the first baseball game played on Elysian Field in 1856 to today's Ultra Modern retractable roof stadiums the history of the Baseball Field is truly magical.
When talking about the game of baseball the story of the Field itself hardly gets center stage but here we take a much deeper look.

When I searched the History of the game of Baseball and the baseball field that I love, I was shocked!
Somebody has change and/or altered the history of my game and that just didn't seem right. We have been given a clinically edited version of baseball history and I had to find out why.
That is what sent me on a quest for the real stories surrounding the game that I love so much. I am not a historian nor am I a replacement for Wikipedia as they are much better in that space.
What I am is a baseball fan, just like you, who will give you a look at the history of baseball with a view taken from between the lines and unfiltered.

3. Share your favorite baseball field memories with me. I would love to help spread the word with fans like you.
Starting with the formation of the the NABBP (National Association of Base Ball Players) as its governing body, Baseball became a professional sport and the business of baseball needed more space to showcase this new business.
By the end of 1865, almost 100 clubs were members of the organization. By 1867, it had over 400 members, including some clubs from as far away as San Francisco and Louisiana.
Together we will take a journey through some of the most memorable ball fields in American history. We will look at them through a unique prospective. A perspective designed and offer with you in mind. If I haven’t said it yet, thank You for coming to visit.
