Baker Bowl, Baseball stadium in Philadelphia, United States
The steel and brick construction featured a double-decked grandstand with a capacity of 12,500 spectators at the intersection of Broad Street and Huntingdon Avenue.
The stadium opened on April 30, 1887, as National League Park and served as the home field for the Philadelphia Phillies until June 1938.
The stadium hosted numerous baseball games, boxing matches, and football events, including the first World Series game attended by a sitting president in 1915.
The strategic location near public transportation facilities and the underground railroad tunnel influenced the stadium's distinct architectural design and field dimensions.
The right field wall stood only 280 feet from home plate and reached a height of 40 feet, creating specific playing conditions for baseball games.
