This group plays by the 1860 rules of baseball at the current site for League Park. There is a push to reconstruct League Park currently.

League Park in 1910
Painting of the Park, but shows great detail

Dunn Field, October 10, 1920. Game 5 of the World Series. This is Bill Wambsganss recording the only unassisted triple play in World Series history. He is shown tagging Otto Miller to end the top of the 5th. Wambsganss had just caught Clarence Mitchell's line drive, stepped on second to retire Pete Kilduff, and then tagged Miller for the third out, as shown here. Larry Gardner is also pictured, playing 3b. The Indians led 7-0 at the time and would go on to win 8-1.[.
Dunn Field, October 12, 1920, Game 7 of the World Series. This Series was actually a best of nine, but the Indians won it in Game 7 with their 5th series win. This photo is in the bottom of the 7th, you can see the scoreboard in CF. This is a rundown. Steve O'Neill, who just doubled to left-center, is in the process of making an out on Stan Coveleski's fielder's choice grounder to P Burleigh Grimes of the Dodgers. After getting O'Neill out, Charlie Jamieson knocked Coveleski in with a double. Coveleski had taken 2nd during the rundown.
This portion of the grandstand along first base stood until it was torn down in 2002 because it had decayed so badly.
Old League Park infield
Aerial view of League Park as it currently stands, as part of a city park. You can still see the outline of the infield and playing field. The ticket office is still standing in the top left corner of the block. You can see the same little building in the bottom left corner of the aerial pictures above.
As stated earlier, many in Cleveland are attempting to develop a coalition to restore League Park. Here is their website. http://www.leaguepark.org/
