Jordan North Carolina State University Landscape Architecture 444 Prof. Fernando Magallanes December 7, 2012 Jordan, J. The Origination of Baseball and Its Stadiums 2 Abstract Baseball is America’s Pastime and is home for some of the most influential people and places in the USA. Since the origination of baseball itself, fields and ball parks have had emotional effects on Americans beginning long before the creation of the USA. In this paper, one will find the background of the sport and how it became as well as the first ball parks and their effects on people in the USA leading up to the discussion about Wrigley Field in Chicago, Illinois. Jordan, J. The Origination of Baseball and Its Stadiums 3 Baseball. This one word could represent the American pastime and culture. Many believe it to be as old as dirt. Peter Morris in his book, Level Playing Fields, explains “Baseball is sometimes said to be older than dirt. It is one of those metaphors that sounds silly on its face but that still resonates because it hints at a deeper truth. In this case, the deeper truth is that neither baseball nor dirt is quite complete without the other” (Morris, 2007). Morris practically says that baseball cannot thrive without proper fields to play on or parks to play in. Before describing early playing fields and stadiums in baseball, one must know where the sport and idea originated from in the first place.

"If you've got the team home for by Ron Hall, assistant editor and Kent Kurtz, professor of Horticulture, two or three weeks, you just try to California Polytechnic Institute, Pomona, CA make the grass survive until the team goes on the road and then you flood it," Feneck explains. "I'd say most of keeping good grass is water. I like to water twice a day in July and August." A five-year-old, underground Rain- bird sprinkler system takes most of the work out of Tiger Stadium irrigation. Feneck insists groundskeepers should have an excellent understand- ing of the sport they're dealing with ("I played baseball and I know what I liked") but the groundskeeper still won't please everyone. "If you can get grass to grow in a minute," he sighs, "then you've got something." Wrigley Field A chill runs down any baseball fan's spine when he steps onto Chicago's Wrigley Field. The soil is the same trod by the immortal and legendary heroes of the past, Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Honus Wagner, Mel Ott, Joe Dimaggio, Jimmy Foxx, and others. The field has not changed much since the Cubs played their first National League game there on April Wrigley Field —one of the oldest and most respected 20, 1916.
