Huntington Avenue Grounds
Huntington Avenue Grounds, Baseball stadium in Roxbury, Boston, US
The wooden structure featured a single-story grandstand with uncovered bleachers along first and third base lines, accommodating 11,500 spectators.
The Boston Americans played their first game at Huntington Avenue Grounds on May 8, 1901, marking the beginning of Major League Baseball in Boston.
The stadium represented the foundation of professional baseball in Boston, hosting the first World Series between American and National Leagues in 1903.
The stadium included press facilities on the grandstand roof and multiple seating sections, with bleachers added incrementally between 1904 and 1910.
A maintenance tool shed stood within the playing area in center field, which measured an extraordinary 530 feet from home plate.
