Remembering the old ball park in St. Louis, home of the Cardinals and Browns for many years. Baseball was played on the park's site as early as 1866. Although renamed "Busch Stadium" in 1953, most baseball fans still thought of it as "Sportsman's Park." The Browns' last game was on Sept. 27, 1953, before moving to Baltimore and becoming the Orioles. The Cardinals' last game in the park was on May 8, 1966, before moving to Busch Memorial Stadium in downtown St. Louis. A boys' & girls' club baseball field is still on the site on Grand Avenue between Dodier, Spring, and Sullivan Streets.
