Abstract

Before they were ballparks, they were “baseball grounds,” and since people seem naturally to be drawn to watching sports played at a high level of skill, those who sponsored the game soon got the idea of fencing off the grounds “for the sole purpose of keeping freeloaders from viewing the game,” as Michael Benson writes in his encyclopedic Ballparks of North America (1989).1

In the 1950s, the moves of Boston to Milwaukee, New York to San Francisco, and Brooklyn to Los Angeles were approved by unanimous votes, as was the move of St. Louis to Baltimore after Bill Veeck sold the team. Veeck’s earlier attempts to move were twice rejected. Philadelphia’s move to Kansas City was approved by 7–1.
