  • Minneapolis and St. Paul Ballpark Sites Athletic Park, Across N
    Minneapolis and St. Paul Ballpark Sites Athletic Park, across N. Sixth Street from Target Center and adjacent to Target Field, was a tiny ballpark that served the Minneapolis Millers from 1889 to 1896. The distance down the foul lines was approximately 250 feet. Perry “Moose” Werden, helped by the friendly dimensions, set a professional record with 42 home runs in 1894 and topped that with 45 in 1895; 37 of his 45 home runs that year were at Athletic Park. The fi rst major league game played in Minnesota took place here, between Milwaukee and Columbus of the American Association on October 2, 1891. The site is now occupied by Butler Square, a warehouse converted into offi ces and restaurants. Nicollet Park opened in 1896, and the Minneapolis Millers played here through 1955, the fi nal game in the ballpark also being Game 7 of the Junior World Series. The Millers beat the Rochester Red Wings of the International League in the fi nal game to win their fi rst Junior World Series. Nicollet Park was a favorite of strong left-handed hitters, such as Ted Williams, who won the American Association triple crown in 1938, and Joe Hauser, who hit 69 home runs (50 at Nicollet) in 1933. A bank now occupies the site. The St. Paul Saints played at Lexington Park from 1897 to 1956. As friendly as Nicollet Park was to left-handed hitters, Lexington was equally unfriendly. For many years the distance down the right- fi eld line was 365 feet with the fence atop an embankment.
