	Crosley Field - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Crosley Field was a baseball stadium that stood in Cincinnati, Ohio from 1912-1970.
		The field of play was known for the sloping hill or "terrace" that led up to the fence (and to street level) across left field, which remained throughout the entire time the stadium stood.
		Crosley Field’s infamous left-field terrace may have contributed to the ending of one of baseball’s greatest player’s career.

		After 1938, the left field foul pole measured 328 feet, center was a friendly 383 and the right field line was a whopping 366, except for two periods when seats were installed in front of the Sun Deck bleachers, cutting the distance to 342.
