This is what is left of League Park. This was the first home to a Cleveland's baseball team. They have had a few. Cleveland Municipal Stadium was built and after a few years, Cleveland's newest baseball team, the Indians moved out. This is where Cy Young, Babe Ruth, and Joe DiMaggio played. This is where The Spiders played. After that it was the Bluebirds. Because Cleveland's baseball teams had one or two native American Indians on them a sportswriter suggested calling them the Indians. That name along
with caricatures drawn of an Indian's face wearing a baseball uniform have drawn resentment from some people.
This park, what remains of it, on Lexington Avenue, is located in the inner city and is probably part of the reason the team moved.
