The Fort Worth Cats, currently playing in the independent North American League, played their final game of the regular season tonight. The Cats have fallen on difficult times of late, losing their membership in the more established American Association because of credit issues. They've had a change of ownership since then, but over this past winter, there was a lot of uncertainty over whether the Cats would even field a team this year. I went to tonight's game, and I was sad to see such a low turnout. Since nothing is certain, I wanted to get a few shots of the ballpark before this season ended.
The current LaGrave Field opened in 2002 and is one of the few ballparks that features four dugouts. During excavation of the site of the original LaGrave Field (1926-1965), the original dugouts were found and preserved as "dugout suites" for LaGrave's reincarnation, which can be rented for a game.
