Hinchliffe Stadium

[Ceetar]

Since we were talking about it yesterday..

Run down little place. Guy nearby saw me taking pictures and asked if I was from Paterson and started talking about how they left it out of the National Park designation and that means they can't get it renovated without 20 million.

There's a statue in Journal Square of Jackie near my last job. anyways..

Hinchcliffe (and man, it's hot out there today)

That's got some beauty still shining through. Staggering, in it's way.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Yeah, those are terrific photos.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Nice shots.

[Guest themetfairy]

Well done!

The Dodgers also played a handful of "home" games in New Jersey for a time during their Brooklyn years but I think that might have been a different stadium. I believe it was in Newark.

If this is Paradise, I wish I had a lawn mower

[Ceetar]

thanks, I'm wishing I'd ventured in further than the first ramp. Although who knows what or who is hanging out in the stands or under them. (And technically there are no trespassing signs somewhere, hopelessly faded)

Roosevelt Stadium, Jersey City

Fantastic stuff, Cee. Really.

New Jersey, where eight runs in two-plus innings gets a stadium named after you.

Seriously, I thought Mr. 36.00 ERA had a stadium named after him before I clicked in here.

I don't think the UMDB has his picture. There you go.

Stony Brook..where a C- minus average makes the Deans List.

[Edgy MD]

Oh, snap! Stony Brook showdown! Seawolves assemble!

LOL. No, we can take a joke.
