About this park
Crosley Field was cozy Cincinnati — a terrace sloping up in left field like a third baseman with an opinion, tight foul ground, and night baseball pioneering under the lights. The park rewarded contact and nerve. Managers who walked onto that grass were managing a character, not a blank rectangle.
