The ballpark was originally built in 1896, and was known as Elm Wood Park or Red Elm Park. In 1915, team owner Russell E. Garner incorporated his name into the ballpark's name.

City directories gave its street address as 914 Madison Avenue. Its boundary streets included Madison (s ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
