Designed by Pleasants Pennington & Albert W. Lewis, it was built in 1922 over a six-month period at the urging of the Mayor, William F. Broening … in a previously undeveloped area just north beyond the city's iconic rows of row-houses. Constructed in the former Venable Park, established in the early 20th century, the stadium was operated by the city's Board of Park Commissioners on behalf of the Baltimore City Department of Recreation and Parks. It was primarily a football stadium, a large horseshoe with an earthen-mound exterior and its open end with a large stone gateway of a Greek/Roman colonnade and porticoes on the open-faced south side facing the new 33rd Street boulevard/parkway which had just recently been cut through east to west. In this configuration, it seated anywhere from 70,000 to 80,000 people. - Wiki - - Vic Pallos – Baseball Nostalgia Cards -Vic Pallos, during the late 1980’s & early 90’s, produced seven(7) different series of baseball postcards he called the, "Baseball Nostalgia Cards".
