May 10, 2008:   I have a detailed replica of Crosley fielf from a Reds Opening day parade and it is being sent to St. Louis soon unless purchased locally. Let's keep it here for the memories! If interested call 859-866-7016. Kim, Greater Cincinnati May 10, 2008:   I also wonder what happened to Ronnie Dale. He influenced me to learn how to play the organ and even had me play at the Golden Rooster on Beechmont a few times. Can anyone fill me in? Thanks Ken, Phoenix, Arizona May 10, 2008:   Former Crosley Field organist Ronnie Dale, is alive and well working part time in a music store at a suburban Cincinnati Mall. Mike, Yellow Springs, Ohio May 9, 2008:   I wonder if it would be possible to have a "Where are they now?" addition to this site? At the least, a list of Reds players listing their age or date of death. I saw something like this on a Brooklyn Dodgers website and it was very interesting. [You do the rersearch and I'll publish it... admin] John, Dayton, Ohio May 8, 2008:   I have what I think is or have been told is a frame to what was a peanut vending cart used at Reds games. I have searched and searched and searched again and can't find any photos verifying this information. This has a hand brake and appears to have had boxes on the back near the engine that kept the peanuts warm. Any idea if something like this was used and during what years? I would really like to see a picture that would allow me to try and restore it to what it once was. Teresa, Eastgate, Ohio April 28, 2008:   [This site] brings back great memories of listening to games on the radio with Jim McIntyre and Joe Nuxhall, and occasionally attending with my grandfather and father. Paul, Columbus, Ohio April 24, 2008:   Does anyone have any idea what happened to Ronnie Dale. He played the organ at Crosley Field and at Coney Island sunlight pool? Pat                 April 1, 2008:   Congratulations and thank you for a wonderful website. I am only 43 and never went to Crosley. But I think I remember seeing it on the way to Riverfront. As a child it was always exciting to go a ball game. I do have a question though, when exactly did I-75 go in (1962-1963) and when exactly did Crosley get crushed? (1972) A neat addition if you can arrange it, is to put sound clips from old broadcasts on the site. Especially from the last game or other important games. Thanks again! Now I'm off to lookup Cincy beer history! Kevin, Hamilton, Ohio March 30, 2008:   I am looking for pictures of the Scoreboard Cafe located at 1902 Western Ave.(just behind Crosley Field Scoreboard. It was my grandfathers business now my grandson has opened another Scoreboard. Old pictures would be great Thanks!!! Albert, Cincinnati, Ohio January 10, 2008:   I ATTENDED A CONCERT AT CROSLEY FIELD IN JUNE OR JULY OF 1970 AND I WAS WONDERING IF ANYONE MIGHT HAVE A POSTER OF THAT SHOW. I AM A POSTER COLLECTOR AND I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO HAVE THIS POSTER. SOME OF THE BANDS WERE MOUNTAIN, BROWNSVILLE STATION AND MOTT THE HOOPLE. IF ANY ONE ELSE WAS THERE, I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU TOO. THANK YOU. BENJAMIN Benjamin, McCutchenville, Ohio December 27, 2007:   I love your site. I found it when doing a report on Crosley and have continued to come back after that. I regrettably did not get my father anything for Christmas. I have a friend in DAAP that said she would draw a picture for me. My late Grandfather worked in the Post Office building next to Crosley, and I was just wondering if you had any good pictures that included both of the buildings. Any help is much appreciated. PS - I have looked at one or two, but still looking for good ideas. Joe, Cincinnati, Ohio December 12, 2007:   Just got home from a auction that I bought a box of paper at. One of the things in it was 4 tickets to the 1964 world series at crosly field cincinnatti reds they have souvenir stamped across them they are for games 1 2 6 7 Can you tell me anything about these. Thanks for your time and have a great holiday, John Answer:     Back in 1964 when there were no divisions, and therefore no playoff games, only the World Series existed, and it started almost immediately following the season. When the league was running neck and neck at the end of the season and no one knew who would win the pennant, every team in contention would have their WS tickets preprinted, just in case. As it was in 1964, the Reds finished in a tie for second place with the Phillies, one game behind the Cards. Once they knew they were out, the Reds probably had souvenir printed on the now no good tickets and probably sold them as such. There are also "phantom" Phillies tickets out there from 1964 as well. John, Sykesville, Maryland November 24, 2007:   Thank you for the wonderful stories of Ted Kluszewski. He was my great uncle. It will help explaining to my son what a talented family he comes from. Sue, Palm Coast, Florida November 3, 2007:   Thank you! What a wonderful site.... One of my favorite memories is hearing my dad's favorite Crosley Field memories. What a wonderful place. Thank you for keeping it "alive". Appreciate all the useful info. Thanks again! Lisa, Westlake, Ohio www.skyshoreprints.com November 3, 2007:   Just an awesome site. Brings back a tremendous amount of childhood memories. Lots of visuals but I would like to add something different that some might remember. "Who wants to rock and roll with a Hudepohl?" Steve, Houston, Texas October 27, 2007:   I grew up a Reds fan. My Dad introduced me to Crosley Field in the 1960s. It will forever be my favorite. Thanks for such a great tribute to the best ballpark ever! Go Reds. Ed, Moscow, Russia August 24, 2007:   It is truly amazing but both Lonny Frey and Billy Werber are still signing autographs through the mail. I recently received both of their autographs on a photograph. Can you believe that two former Reds that are in their late '90's still respond to their mail? It was great to know that both of them are healthy enough to continue doing this. Ron, Clemmons, North Carolina May 7, 2007:   I have a copy of the original "Waite Hoyt in the Rain", still enjoy it, and I would very much like to find a copy of "Hap Dale on the Organ". Any suggestions? PS: I have an almost complete set of 1958 Tops Cards, in great shape. Are you interested in them and what are they worth? Suggestion:   Contact Steve at www.sportsinvestments.com Charlie, Oak Ridge, Tennessee April 7, 2007:   As I recall, Jim McIntyre had a health issue that arose and he subsequently retired. Ron, Clemmons, North Carolina March 7, 2007:   Why did the Reds replace Jim Mcintyre after the 1970 season??? Was it over health reasons or because the Reds wanted a change? According to an old Sporting News I have the Reds considered Harry Caray??

Click www.groups.yahoo.com/group/Crosley Lou, Chicago, Illinois November 29, 2006:   Hello, I have a seat from Crosley Field and I was wondering if I could send you some pictures of it and see if you could tell me anything about it? I guessed that it was an isle seat because it has the reds logo on it, but that's all I know. This is the first time I have seen your site and loved it. Your response would be much appreciated. Thank you, Charlie Charlie, Hamilton, Ohio Sports Investments is one of the most unique sports memorabilia, cards, and other collectibles store in the country dealing both with collectors and dealers. November 23, 2006:   I would like to know if they´re any old Crosley games on video? I am a huge fan of the mid-sixties Reds 64-67,Frank Robinson, Vada Pinson , Deron Johnson, Johnnie Edwards, Tommie Harper,and of course Pete Rose. I love the white batting helmets 64-66? Thank you for any help on finding any videos from 64-67.. Maria, Toledo, Ohio VIDEOS November 5, 2006:   The painted Home Plate and 3rd Base are exact as possible assuming the distance from home plate to the left field wall was exactly 328 feet and not rounded up or down. They were laid out using the original site and construction drawings from 1912. They represent the final location in 1970. The original home plate would be south and west of the final location. We also located the final location of the left field foul pole on York St, it is the west orange mark on the edge of the sidewalk. The staff of the Reds Hall of Fame and Museum assisted in the actual layout of the Crosley Field site. We enjoyed doing it. We are working on permanent markers and an overlay of how Crosley Field would look on the site today. Mike, Yellow Springs, Ohio November 4, 2006:   Hi, I just made a wonderful trip to the location of Crosley Field. I had done a lot of research on your site while preparing for this trip and I thank you for creating your great website. My question is - Concerning where home plate was located - there is now a white painted "home plate" (also I saw 3rd base painted in white as well). Do you know how close this painted home plate is to the actual (real) home plate? Is it the exact spot or a within a few feet? Would it have been the same home plate location during the 1919 world series or was the field reoriented over the years somewhat? Thank you, Bob Bob, Los Angeles, California September 30, 2006:   Your dedication to this project is unbelievable ! My parents attended a Reds game in 1959 or 1960 (not sure which year). I do have a couple of photos that my mother took that day. Unfortunately the photos aren't very good,but I treasure them all the same. Keep up the good work and I'll visit often. Ken, Middletown, Ohio September 11, 2006:   - Please help :) I bought some old Crosley Field seats that were a bit beat up. The bottom seats weren't attached perfect... you couldn't sit on them. I took them apart and repainted them... and am ready to put them back together (i.e. the seat bottom to the main area) and I can't figure it out. I think I am missing something or actually, I think because the seats (they are a double) used to have other seats next to them I will have to create a new piece on the sides so that you can sit in them.... can you help. I can certainly send pictures. Let me know. If anyone has an answer to Ben's question, please email him at: bengfield@juno.com Ben Field, South Florida August 11, 2006:   - Love your site!! I am a huge Reds fan. It's wonderful to read and see the history about the greatest team in the world! Keep it coming! Mike, Fairfield Township, Ohio August 9, 2006:   - I recently read somewhere that someone or some group painted a home plate and foul lines at the Crosley Field location. The story says they were able to locate and paint bases at first and third but second base is under a building. Does anyone know if this is true? If so, email me by clicking HERE Thanks! John John, Dayton, Ohio July 12, 2006:   - I JUST CANT BELIEVE WHAT I JUST LOOKED AT. I WAS BORN IN CIN AND LIVE IN ONE OF THE BUILDING IN THE PICTURE ON THIS SITE IN THE MID 50'S. I SPENT EVERY WEEKND AT THE BALLBALL, WE WOULD BUM EXTRA TICKETS AND SELL THEM THEN GO SIT IN THE SUN DECK. LOVE DOUBLE HEADERS EVERY SUNDAY.I STILL AM A DIE HARD REDS FANS, EVEN IF I LIVE 5 MINS FROM ANGELS FIELD NOW. ANYONE CAN CONTACT ME I WOULD LOVE TO CHAT WITH THEM ABOUT THE OLD DAYS. I HAVE MANY STORIES FROM THE PARK. AND I STILL HATE THE DODGERS. YOU HAD TO HIT THE BALL OUT OF THE PARK OVER THE SCORE BOARD, ANYTHING OFF THE SCORE BROAD WAS IN PLAY. IN RIGHT FIELD THEY HAD A DOUBLE FENCE AND BETWEEN THE FENCE THEY CALLED IT THE GOAT RUN, WHY I DONT KNOW ANSWER TO THAT ONE. Email Funston:   fiveon11@aol.com Funston, California January 29, 2006:   - Thanks you so much for your site. January 30th is a sad day for me as my father passed away in 1970. I was 9. Sometime in the late 60's he worked for Railway Express. I was told it was right next to Crosley Field. Not until I found your site did I realize how close. I remember my dad walking me from Railway Express to look inside from outside the left field wall. Which you have a picture of a door. Wow did those memories come back. It was exactly like I remembered them. I now work for a company that is only 3 blocks away from where Crosley Field was. I knew of the monument but until this site, I didn't actually know where the field was and where Railway Express was located. Randall, Amelia, Ohio January 7, 2006:   - I am discussing an issue of night golf on a regulation, par four 18 hole site. The proponent says that fully lit regulation courses will add a new dimension to golf. The other side says that it will never work; if it were workable, it would have already been done. I am reminded that Crosley Field was the first field to have night games after installing lights in 1935. The doubting-Thomases all said that baseball was an afternoon game for Saturdays, and no one would ever come out to a ballfield at night. These same people said that Starbucks would not work in Florida. Do you have a source of information on the public discussion of night play at Crosley field in the early years? Jim, Fort Lauderdale, Florida January 6, 2006:   - Grew up in Cincinnati, siblings there, 50 yrs old. Not a baseball buff; can't even recall how I tripped on this link, but, wow! Shame it's gone, Riverfront too... Nice job, hope you get more photos. I do recall, I was about 8 years old. We parked out, paid guy to "watch" car, came back, different guy with wine bottle said "pay me". Dad said "no", he said, "brick through your back window if you don't". Dad got in car, brick came thru window, dad left me in car running after the guy! Can't forget that, but don't mean to imply bad experience. I can't remember anything about the game except my dad took me to a b-ball game at Crosley, and that's good enough! Nice job on the site! Arnold, Lexington, Kentucky January 4, 2006:   - I have a question. Do you know if a ball hitting the scoreboard (above the line of course) at Crosley would be considered a Homerun, or still in play? I've been looking for this info for several days now, and can't find the ground rules for Crosley anywhere. Joshua, San Diego, California Okay, does anyone out there know the answer to Joshua's question? If so, let us know by Clicking Here December 22, 2005:   - I am a member. Just had some time to study the entire web page. Great! I really enjoy. Been an Oriole fan since 1955, but recently I've been enjoying Reds baseball. This page is moving me to root for the Reds. Saw Crosley Field in the winter of 67 or 68. I play with computer Sims of baseball like Action PC, DMB. I have enjoyed playing those late 1930's, and the Reds were pretty good. The back drops I have of Crosley Field take me back to a time gone by. I grew up near Memorial Stadium in balto. I often dream about those days going to the bleachers as a kid..would you believe $.50 for day games in late 1950's? Found one possible error on site. You state about foul pole receiving web after 1939 WS. after harry craft HR, but you have picture from 1940 bleachers series, minus new foul pole.--I am a retired cop...get paid to look for details. a friend, skip Skip, Oneida, New York December 20, 2005:   - used to get straight A tickets to crosley in the late 60's. even had 3 riverfront tickets, when it first opened. i think we got 6 pairs every year. saw the beatles there on Sunday after the Saturday night rain out.my question is when was the bulletproof glass installed behind home plate, replacing the old wire mesh? i remember the wild throw thumps. always sat in the first seat next to the the visitor's dugout where the players entered/exited the field. courtesy of ernie banks. probably misspelled his name, but don't have time to look up his autograph. let me know something about the backstop change, maybe a bet riding. Duke, Madison, Indiana November 16, 2005:   - I really enjoyed your site. I went to three games there in the summer of '56 after I finished my last season of little league. My parents went to visit friends in Covington, KY and they took me to the games. They played the Dodgers and the Phillies. Pee Wee Reese actually pitched part of the Brooklyn game. I came here off another site to verify the existence of the big green laundry over the left field fence. I remember Wally Post hitting about six shots on top of it during batting practice. I can still name the entire starting lineup of the Reds and they have remained my favorite team from the era. I quit keeping up with MLB when it turned into what it is today. I can, however, still name the original 16 teams and the stadiums they played in. I also remember the hot dogs at Crosley were the best I have ever had. Great job! Joe, San Antonio, Texas October 23, 2005:   - In one of your photo galleries ( SEE HERE ) you have a color shot of what you believe was opening day of the 1961 season and the flag is flying at half staff for an unknown reason. If the dating on your photo is correct, its probably for Cincinnati police officer Donald Martin who was gunned down on March 11, 1961 in the parking lot of the Nabisco Bakery. A 30-day mourning period declared by the mayor would be customary.   OR the answer could be found right on your site! Was if for Powell Crosley? (Note: Powel Crosley died March 28, 1961) Brian, Canton, Ohio October 1, 2005:   - Great site, stumbled upon it quite by accident via a fortuitous link from another site. I'm old enough to remember all the old ballparks back to the era of the 1940's, and was lucky enough to see Crosley Field many times on WGN since I grew up in Chicago. I enjoy finding the sites of demolished ballparks on Google Earth, so your site was a tremendous and unexpected bonus. Thanks for making my day. Ben, Port Orange, Florida September 15, 2005:   - Our active Crosley automobile discussion group is at www.groups.yahoo.com/group/Crosley_Gang Lou, Kenosha, Wisconsin August 2, 2005:   - This is the best of any ballpark sites I have visited. I grew up in Eaton, Ohio and saw several games at Crosley. Had box seats behind home plate for one game. What a thrill for a ten year old. Keep up the good work and thanks again for the visit to Crosley. Brings back a lot of memories. John, Dayton, Ohio July 15, 2005:   - Are there any pictures of the lockers/locker room from Crosley Field? I need to see what the lockers looked like. Thanks, Brad Brad, Bedford, Indiana July 13, 2005:   - It's make the heart feel good to see these pictures. I spent the days of my youth here. What a great site. Vern, San Diego, California June 22, 2005:   - Great to see the site. We are displaying a wonderful model of Crosley Field, c. June 24, 1970, at the Reds Hall of Fame and Museum starting Friday, June 24, the 35th anniversary of the last game. I would absolutely recommend without hesitation a visit to see this model to any fan of the Reds, and especially any fan of Crosley Field. The model was built by a fan, not a professional model builder. The builder is Mike Weaver of Yellow Springs, OH. Hope to see you at the Reds Hall of Fame. Greg Rhodes, Executive Director, Cincinnati Reds Baseball Hall of Fame June 15, 2005:   - Crosley Field was a magic place in my childhood. I grew up in Hamilton Ohio and would attend games there. In '56 they were the "Redlegs". Big Klu, Wally Post, Gus Bell, Smokey Burgess and all the others. The terrace is what distinguished Crosley from the other fields. I know that the Red's outfielders had an advantage as they learned to field from the terrace while visiting teams had to "climb the hill" to make a play. I'll never forget the magic! Gary, Anacortes, Washington May 28, 2005:   - I hope you get this message before May 29, 2005. There is a Crosley Field stadium seat for sale on Ebay. It's number 5200795697. Sounds like it would be perfect for you. Incredible web site. I cannot rave enough about it. I wish other fans would do sites such as yours about the Polo Grounds, Sportsmans Park, etc. Jim McDonough, Wyckoff, New Jersey May 9, 2005:   - Dear Sir, I'm sorry I've never gotten your name from this site, but I want to tell you that this is the best web-site on the entire internet as far as I'm concerned. I have visited your old site as well as this new one many times, and I can't tell you how much this means to me. I grew up in Middletown, and although we were very poor, my dad always took me to Crosley at least once a year. I have so many great memories of this place. I can still smell it too! Frankly, I would give just about anything to go back there now... In fact, I still have a Jim Coker (remember him?! I think he was a backup catcher) bat from "bat day" (back when they actually gave out "real" bats), that has survived playing me baseball with it, and my kids too. I left Middletown when I was in 6th grade (1967), but I've never forgotten Crosley Field. I came back for college in the early 70's (UC), and as I was a member of the UC marching band, I got to go to the 75 and 76 series, but I never got the feeling there I got from Crosley. It was great though. I remember listening to Waite Hoyt on my transister, and my dad and his best friend arguing over whether Vada Pinson was any good. It's funny to hear Frank Robinson on the air here in the NY area as manager of the Nats. and think that I saw him play when he was young! Again, thank you so much for this site. I'm glad your friend talked you into opening it again. Hope this makes you feel like you did the right thing, because you did! Thanks, Bill Holloman Bill Holloman, Avon, Connecticut April 11, 2005:   - GREAT WEBSITE--I AM A BASEBALL HISTORY TYPE OF FAN--KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK Sam, Chicago, Illinois March 28, 2005:   - I grew up in the northern suburbs of Philadelphia. I've always been a huge fan of ballparks and stadiums for some unknown reason, but being only 22 all I had was the pit we called The Vet. I've been to several other stadiums like Yankee, Camden Yards, and now Citizens Bank. Last month I moved to Boston, about a 15 min walk from Fenway Park. Seeing how this park is in a great area with character all around it the story of Crosley Field is tragic. I've always known about it but never its story. How it used to be in a great neighborhood with character to how it was destroyed by 60's and 70s expansion. The worst is the before and after shots with all the buildings in the back, then in about a year span they're all gone for an interstate and parking lots. I also love the shots where you put the old scoreboard where it'd be today etc. Only thing I'd like to see added is maybe an aerial or satilite shot of the site now and some before and after things. I wish I could find a site like this about Shibe Park. I spent over an hour here just reading your stories. Jay, Boston/SE PA March 21, 2005:   - Can you please tell me what was the game number listed on the ticket from Johnny VanderMeer`s second no-hitter? my stub says game 55....Retrosheet says it was game 50. could this ticket have been made prior to the season beginning? if so, then there would be rain-outs. please let me know asap. thankyou!!! Rick, New Jersey March 19, 2005:   - Just wanted to let you know that my dad was a ticket seller at Crosley and also an amatuer photographer and I have some nice color slides of Crosley from the 50's/early 60's. Several nice shots of Peanut Jim taken from inside the windows along the first base side plus color shots of the All Star Game and 61 World Series. Also, any info on the rumor of a Klu/Harmon clubhouse fight in 58 or 59? Thanks! Frank, Morningview, Kentucky March 19, 2005:   - Steve- I do know of someone who I can get you in contact with and maybe they can help you find those seats that you are looking for. Contact me via e-mail.   scottggood@yahoo.com Scott Good, Hebron, Kentucky March 17, 2005:   - Chuck, We just wanted to let you know that we have a great 1/100th scale model built of Crosley Field and it will be on our float for the 2005 opening day parade. Do you still have the photo of the Reds sign we sent you years ago? Auctioncaller, Cincinnati, Ohio March 17, 2005:   - Great site! I found your site while trying to find anyone who had seats from crosley they would be willing to sell. Can you help? Do you know of anyone. Thanks again for a great site. Steve, Louisville, Kentucky March 16, 2005:   - I am a huge Reds and Crosley Field fan. Thanks to all the hard work you have put into this site I am able to see what I was not (only 30 years old) able to. I do collect vintage Crosley field iems and was wondering if you or any of your inverstors or site readers have run across any scoreboard items? Please let me know. Again thanks for the site as I will be a frequent visitor. Scott Good, Hebron, Kentucky February 27, 2005:   - My Grandfather (George Washington Paynter (correct spelling is Paner) played only one game in the big leagues - against Reds at League Park Aug 12, 1894. (St Louis Browns - before they changed name back to Cardinals) While playing outfield he was beaned during last at bat - comma for a long time, and never played again. I saw one photo of League park on your web site and learned more about the site, fire, etc. Can you direct me to other info about League Park? Other photos, perhaps design drawings? I have met with St Louis Cardinal historian but learned very little. All ideas appreciated. Jerry Paner, Virginia February 20, 2005:   - Loved your website!!! As a longtime baseball fan and Cincinnati Red fan this website brought back many memories. As a kid I remember traveling with my uncle in a tractor trailer and stopping on Interstate 75 where you could watch part of the game through an opening in the left field wall.... This era was when baseball was really baseball... Thanks Tom Hanna, Plainfield, Illinois February 20, 2005:   - Your site is wonderful....my husband is trying to build a scale model of Crosley and your photo's have been very helpful to him. If you happen to know whether it is possible to get blue prints of the ball park and where to purchase them it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again for your site..it is awesome and I am sure I will be back!! Betty Jean, Englewood, Ohio January 25, 2005:   - I attended a jazz concert at Crosley Field the summer of 1967 (maybe later July or early August) at which performer Miles Davis and his band played. Do you have a record of this concert amongst your documentation for Crosley? I'm trying to nail down the date (most likely a Fri or Sat evening). Chuck Ralston, Mableton, Georgia January 12, 2005:   - We are in the process of decorating one of our conference rooms here at Kichler Lighting with a "History of Lighting" timeline. We want to include the first night baseball game but we are unable to come up with a photo in a good enough resolution to print to 8.5" x 11" size. Can you send me something in at least 150 dpi or a way to contact Robert Payne (many photos linked to this site but not available to download) and see if we can get something from him? I lived in Cincinnati for 8 years and appreciate the work you have put into this site for all the die hard Reds fans. Thanks. Jerry Flauto, Stow, Ohio January 11, 2005:   - I really appreciate your website and all the work you've put into it. I found the location years ago and through maps and old photos, I figured out how things were situated down there. I was only 5 or 6 when they tore it down, but supposedly I went to quite a few games there, as we were season ticket holders. The pictures are great! You can really get a sense of how it was back then. I've been looking for photos like this for years! Thanks again, Jeff Abbott, Cincinnati, Ohio December 30, 2004:   - Great site. As a kid I remember watching the Saturday afternoon games from Crosley Field, when they had the Reds on that day. I always wanted to see someone hit a HR over the left-field fence and hit the laundry building! I am doing some research for Retrosheet on fence lengths/heights. Do you know the dimensions and fence heights when Redland Field opened in 1912? Jim Herdman, Bremerton, Washington December 4, 2004:   - I have a Brass key tag (oval) that says Crosley field Locker No. 5.. It looks real old....I am interested who might of owned it.. It belongs to my wife and it was given to her by her grandmother I think....My wife's Grandmother has lived in Cincinnati OH all her life. How do I go about finding the value or history, or is there a way I can find out who had that locker?   ( If any reader knows the answer to this query, please click on the "Send a Message" link above, and let me know, and I'll pass it along to David. - CF ) David In a follow-up, November 29, 2004:   - Thanks for the awesome site, again. The mystique of old ballparks, especially Crosley never stops amazing me. I am only 25, but my dad told me what kind of place Crosley was when he was able to make it to Cincinnati from up near the Lima area when he was a teenager. I will continue to check out the site and thanks again. Dustin Smith, Murfreesboro, TN November 28, 2004:   - Thanks for the helpful information. I am too young to have ever visited Crosley Field, but your site allowed me to get a feel of what it was like. I am a Reds and Pete Rose fan and was able to locate the area of where Crosley was on my way back home to TN over Thanksgiving at my grandparents. I was able to see the plaque by the flower shop and the seats in front of the janitorial warehouse at 1 Crosley Field Way. Thanks for the awesome site! I was able to visit the Crosley in Blue Ash a few years back and that place is quite a site also. Thanks Again. Dustin Smith, Murfreesboro, TN
