8 things you probably didn't know about League Park

CLEVELAND, Ohio — Two Northeast Ohioans recently decided to chronicle the history of one of Cleveland's most venerable landmarks: League Park, where the Cleveland Indians played from the late 1800s to the 1940s.

Bryan Fritz, a Cleveland prosecutor, and Ken Krsolovic, now an athletic director for Harford Community College in Maryland, spent years combing through records and conducting interviews to produce a book on League Park, located at the corner of Lexington Avenue and East 66th Street on Cleveland's East Side.

The City of Cleveland now owns the park and uses it for high school baseball games and other events.
