I stumbled across these today and didn’t want them to get lost, so what better place to archive than here on Pickin’ Splinters?? The links below will take you to some great photos taken at the old Comiskey Park throughout its colorful history. If you love baseball history and classic old ballparks, you should enjoy these photos. Have a look at my favorite ballpark of all time (yes, even better than Wrigley).

By the way, anyone else notice that pitchers and catchers have reported????
Sure beats US Cellular Field. Tight one with Wrigley, though. What was the old field in Detroit. I liked that one because it was such a weird configuration.
The name of Detroit’s field was not particularly unique: Tiger Stadium. We caught one game there. 450 to deep center, but short down the lines. Like Pete said a weird configuration.
I have fond memories of Chet Lemon roaming center field in both parks.
Ah, the good old days. Chet Lemon, wow! Luis Aparicio at Comiskey. Al Kaline at Tiger Stadium.
Here’s a link to some great photos of Wrigley Field thru time. Check out the one with Al Capone !
