	BallparkTour - Former ballparks of Brooklyn - Ebbets Field and Washington Park
		Whereas Ebbets Field began life as a pitchers' park because of the generous dimensions in left field, it had become a hitter's paradise by 1932: it was 348 feet down the left-field line, 389 feet to dead center, and 297 feet down the right-field line.
		A19-foot screen in right field sitting on top of a 19-foot fence kept a number of balls in play, and the weird right-field wall -- which was crooked away from the playing field -- led to a number of odd bounces over the years.

	Clem's Baseball ~ Ebbets Field
		Ebbets Field was a small stadium with a very small playing area, tightly squeezed into the urban street grid which left no real possibility of expanding it.
		One interesting feature was that the center field grandstand was actually about 15 feet higher than the rest of the stadium, and the edge of the second deck was flush with the center field fence, meaning that fans out there missed a lot of the outfield action.
		It was at Ebbets Field that the shameful baseball "apartheid" finally ended in 1947, when Jackie Robinson became the first African-American to play major league ball since the 1880s.

	Ebbets Field - Hit sign - Win Suit
		The sign at Ebbets Field lent some of the character to that grand old ball park.
		It also was a tough sign to hit-on a bounce or on the fly--because it was in a spot under the scoreboard in right-center field that couldn't be reached if the right fielder was doing his job adequately.
		Reporters, ex-Dodgers officials and Ebbets Field fans of long standing didn't recall more than a few instances when the sign was hit.
