    thanks man, i like the drawing, it's easier to see what the stadium looked like considering a lot of the pictures of the older stadiums are in black and white and sometimes hard to make out.

    This link has some good info on Columbia Park and a couple of photos. I think I have some pictures in an old Phillies yearbook about the history of ballparks in the city but I'll have to try and track them down. Until then, here's my contribution.



    Also you can read a little more about it here, it's an excerpt from an Old Philadelphia Ballparks book. Unfortunately the images don't seem to show up.

    Philadelphia's rich baseball heritage as seen through its baseball parks is vividly brought to life in this colorful and anecdotal book. Experienced sportswriter Rich Westcott once again dives into a labor of love, taking us back in time to an era when Philadelphia's ballparks were as famous and as much a part of the game as the teams that took the field. Philadelphia's baseball history goes beyond Shibe Park. Philadelphia's Old Ballparksis both a documentary and an oral history, providing detailed descriptions of all of the old professional parks and the many teams that played in them, including Baker Bowl, with its right field wall so close to home plate, it prompted sportswriter Red Smith to quip, "It might be exaggerating to say the outfield wall casts a shadow across the infield. But if the right fielder had eaten onions at lunch, the second baseman knew it." Shibe Park is also well-documented with its idiosyncracies, as are the others. The recollections of dozens of people--players, owners, vendors, ushers, grounds keepers, and fans combine to recreate the world that was held within those walls. Author note: Rich Westcotthas served as a writer and editor on the staffs of a variety of newspapers and magazines in the Philadelphia and Baltimore areas during his 35 years in publishing. He is the publisher and editor of Phillies Report.He is the author of six books, including The New Phillies Encyclopedia(Temple), with Frank Bilovsky; Phillies '93, An Incredible Season(Temple); Diamond Greats;and Masters of the Diamond.

    Any information/pictures of these stadiums?

    i havent been able to find a lot of information or photos on the following stadiums:

    1.) A.L. Park (washington senators)
    2.) Bennett Park (detroit tigers)
    3.) Columbia Park (philiadelphia athletics)

    maybe these stadiums were under different names at one point or possibly werent around for too long, it's also possible i wasn't seraching hard enough too!
