Wrigley Field, Los Angeles. The original home of the Los Angeles Angels of the Pacific Coast League. Here's a shot of the field from the outfield.
"Erected
in 1925 at 42nd Place and Avalon Blvd., Wrigley Field was a 21,000-seat,
home-run hitters paradise. It also doubled as the set for such films as
"Pride of the Yankees", "Dam Yankees" and "Alibi
Ike" and the "Home Run Derby" television show.*"
Wrigley Field, 1930s.
Chuck
Conners is at bat in the picture above for the L.A. Angels minor league team, 1952. And below is Chuck Connors in 1952.
LA Angels logo.
Chuck
Connors played for the Brooklyn Dodgers from 1949 to 1951. More baseball pics of Chuck Connors. You
will enjoy these!! Here are even more pics of Connors through the
years. Didn't realize how popular he was in 70s television and how wildly
he was liked. He even had an event with Brezhnev, the Soviet leader.
"Steve
Bilko hits homerun on Wrigley Field, Los Angeles (Calif.), August 27,
1956. Going for distance--Steve Bilko of Angels lets loose mighty blast
into the bleachers for his 50th home run of the year in the first game. Angels split with
Rainers."
