Crosley Field
The museum of Cincinnati stuff's train set includes a nifty version of Crosley Field. Crosley was Cincinnati's version of those legendary ballparks from baseball's golden age. In addition to being the home of the Cincinnati Reds from 1912 until 1970, Crosley Field is known for being the first Major League park to have lights. Baseball's first night game was played at Crosley between the Reds and the Phillies on May 24, 1935. Incidentally, the bulbs for the lights used at that game were manufactured at the Ken-Rad Company in Owensboro, Kentucky.
Robin's parents saw games at Crosley before it was torn down in 1972. It was replaced by Riverfront Stadium, an ugly, multiuse bowl that Robin remembers fondly.
