Lloyd Street Grounds
From Free net encyclopedia
Lloyd Street Grounds was a baseball stadium located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and home turf of the old Milwaukee Brewers. It opened on May 3, 1901 and its last game was played on September 12, 1901.
After the last game was played, the old Milwaukee Brewers announced they were moving to St. Louis to become the St. Louis Browns, made famous by Bill Veeck in the 1950s. In 1953, the St. Louis Browns moved to Baltimore to become the Baltimore Orioles.
The playfield was situated between 16th and 18th streets on W. Lloyd Street, and extended north to W. North Avenue.
