1911 Cleveland Indians Baseball League Park Postcard - Leutzinger Collection

Description

I'm honored to be offering in the coming weeks postcards from,
The Richard Leutzinger Postcard Collection
Richard Leutzinger loved baseball, ballparks and ballpark postcards. He also devoted decades of his life to helping others.
A University of Oregon graduate in the 1960s with a degree in journalism, Richard worked for various newspapers but decided on a career change to become a registered nurse. For 23 years, he cared for cancer patients at a community hospital in Monterey, CA, where he served until his retirement in 2001. Richard also championed other humanitarian needs, from teaching health care to refugees in Sudan to volunteering for the Red Cross, medical clinic and hospice program in Eugene, OR, where he and his wife Margaret moved after his retirement.
He is the author of “Lefty O’Doul, The Legend Baseball Almost Forgot,” published in 1997. He was a treasured friend and colleague to stadium postcard collectors across the country, often sharing photos of ballparks that he took during his travels, some published as collector-issued postcards.
Richard passed away from cancer five years ago. His family’s wish is for the postcards to be shared, in hopes that other collectors would enjoy the cards as much as Richard did.
The Leutzinger collection consists mainly of standard-sized chromes and continentals, mixed with collector issues and a few linens and pre-linens. They will continue to be offered here in coming weeks.

League Park was a baseball park located in Cleveland, Ohio, United States. It was situated at the northeast corner of E. 66th Street and Lexington Avenue in the Hough neighborhood. It was built in 1891 as a wood structure and rebuilt using concrete and steel in 1910. The park was home to a number of professional sports teams, most notably the Cleveland Indians of Major League Baseball. League Park was first home to the Cleveland Spiders of the National League from 1891 to 1899 and of the Cleveland Lake Shores of the Western League, the minor league predecessor to the Indians, in 1900. From 1914 to 1915, League Park also hosted the Cleveland Spiders of the minor league American Association. In the late 1940s, the park was also the home field of the Cleveland Buckeyes of the Negro American League
