Jackie Robinson takes a moment to sign autographs in front of the bat rack at Brooklyn's Ebbets Field, 1947.
The rare look at Crosley Field from end of Findlay St., with the press box on the roof. 1941. #Reds
Months before his passing, I recorded an interview with ballpark revolutionary, Larry Lucchino. On this week's episode of the LB podcast, Lucchino tells how the park of his youth, Forbes Field, inspired him to build Camden Yards & Petco Park. Listen at lostballparks.com
Sad to hear of passing of Dodger great Carl Erskine. Erskine was the first guest on the LB Podcast & eagerly agreed to do it. He was a great player and an even better human being. That episode remains my favorite. You can listen to the interview at lostballparks.com - RIP.
Lost Ballparks follower Mark Jensen found a group of slides at an estate sale. This great shot of Candlestick Park was included. It was labeled, ""Willie Mays at bat. 5/15/61." That day the Giants beat the Cubs 14-1. Mays was 2-3 w 2 doubles, a walk, 3 runs scored, and an RBI.
Former A's clubhouse mgr Steve Vucinich joins me on this month's episode of the LB podcast to talk about the day Joe DiMaggio changed his life, those 1970's Swingin' A's, their sweet unis & the team's mascot w more perks than the players. Listen now at lostballparks.com
Steve Vucinich, seen here with Joe DiMaggio, spent 54 yrs with the A’s - from peanut vendor to clubhouse mgr. He was a part of the team for 7 different decades and has many stories to tell on this month's episode of the Lost Ballparks podcast. Listen at lostballparks.com
RIP Larry Lucchino, an influential baseball executive with @Orioles, @Padres, and @RedSox who led a drive toward downtown stadiums with Camden Yards and Petco Park. Listen to our 2022 panel discussion with Lucchino, @SmithJanetmarie & Charles Steinberg: sabr.org/latest/sabr-50…

Rocky Colavito, seen here at his statue unveiling in CLE, is my guest on the Lost Ballparks podcast. My mouth was agape listening to his story about attending the 54 WS at the Polo Grounds. Listen at lostballparks.com or wherever you stream podcasts. Photo: Mark Potthoff
Rocky Colavito, now 90, joins me on the Lost Ballparks podcast to talk about his 1st game at the Polo Grounds, his tryout at Yankee Stadium, his love for Cleveland & the wedding gift CLE gave he & his wife that he'll never forget! Listen now at lostballparks.com
The NY Giants played at the Polo Grounds through the 1957 season. The Mets were there in '62 and '63 while Shea Stadium was being built. This photo was taken by Harvey Sackowitz September 18, 1963, the day the Mets played their final home game at the Polo Grounds.
Opening day at Kansas City's Municipal Stadium. April 12, 1955. The Athletics were set to begin their first year in K.C. after relocating from Philadelphia. The team would have exactly 0 winning seasons during their 13 year stay.
Looking back at the press box at Baltimore's Memorial Stadium. '80's? 90's? Photo: John Van Slycke
"Me (leg crossed in front) and my friends (more than a few no longer with us) in the stands at Memorial Stadium (Baltimore)... one of the hundreds of times we were there. (Extra points if you know the musical legend holding/watching the tiny TV!)" Jim Akers
Sportsman's Park, St. Louis circa 1963. "I was fortunate to play there as a little league all-star. I’m the little guy, second row, far right. I don’t remember if I ever got a hit but I do remember people running after a foul ball I hit in the stands." @harriman69 on X

What I love most about my Pops’ card collection is that he built it by going to local Indiana drug store and buying packs from his allowance. They are scuffed, worn, and priceless.
Looks like I have some reading to do @KeithOB
Rest in peace, Carl Erskine. What a truly meaningful life lived and celebrated today in Indiana. 🙏🏻
Scoreboards today can do it all. But they do nothing that will make them memorable. Sure, it looks good, but most graphics/ads today have no purpose or stand out. This here...you remember.
When I saw that 97 year old Carl Erskine passed away today, my first thought was his amazing interview on the @lost_ballparks podcast and his insight into baseball games played 75+ years ago. What a gem! Lost him and Whitey this week. Sad week for baseball lovers.
Sad to hear of passing of Dodger great Carl Erskine. Erskine was the first guest on the LB Podcast & eagerly agreed to do it. He was a great player and an even better human being. That episode remains my favorite. You can listen to the interview at lostballparks.com - RIP.
@lost_ballparks Great episode and I learned a ton about Erskine thanks to your interview. RIP Carl
Vin Scully shares an amazing story of Satchel Paige and Whitey Herzog. You’ll want to take the time and listen to this story. #RIPWhiteyHerzog
His story is reason alone to read Roger Kahn's book, "The Boys of Summer"
Sad to hear of passing of Dodger great Carl Erskine. Erskine was the first guest on the LB Podcast & eagerly agreed to do it. He was a great player and an even better human being. That episode remains my favorite. You can listen to the interview at lostballparks.com - RIP.
@lost_ballparks Sad. That really is a great podcast. (Among many others)
@lost_ballparks Brooklyn Dodgers. Erskine, Hodges, Robinson, Reese, Roe, Snider, Campanella. So great.
@lost_ballparks Loved that episode. Inspired me to write to him after reading Boys of Summer and hearing the pod cast.
A nearly empty ballpark. The slight sounds of a train and the voices of a small handful of folks. The knowledge it will soon transition into BP bat cracks/glove pops. Then the majesty of a Major League game. Baseball Nirvana. Smells like big league spirit.
RIP Whitey Herzog. Before my first MLB broadcast in 1979 I asked Whitey for one piece of baseball wisdom I need to remember. He said, “Nothing makes a manager look dumber than a bad bullpen.” And I’ve never forgotten it. Thanks Whitey.
