Hello all!
Next up for use in your 1910s Spring Training Tours is the pride of Havana, Almendares Park. This is the first park by that name, it was replaced in 1916 or so by another Almendares Park not far away. This was the the site of several early MLB tours, including Ty Cobb's Tigers and a Philadelphia Athletics team. It also hosted some early Black ballplayers before the first recognized Negro League teams played. It also hosted college football, of all things.
The view from the usual high-behind-home-plate position isn't particularly inspiring--the field was by all accounts gigantic in all directions. I did the park factors based on a simplistic comparison of 1B/2B/3B/HR per at bat from the Seamheads database and it seems like outfielders played deep to keep things from going over their heads, and successfully cut down on extra base hits at the expense of a lot of singles dropping in in front of them.
The park itself had multi-story pavilions rather than grandstands in places, which look amazing in some paintings I've seen. That's where most of the visual interest in this park is, though I also put in one of the old forts way out past right field since I think it would have been visible. I tried to give something of a flavor of the setting, using some likely-looking street scenes from Havana for the surrounding area.
I'd intended to take a break from stadiums for a little while after this one, but I did convince myself to do one more. I should post that one soon...
