I'm about to post Avenue Grounds, and will give my current take on these others...

I think there's enough out there for someone (whether me or someone else) to do these reasonably historically, if memory serves.

Agreed, that's also my understanding.

see asterisk comment below! I think this is just one park 1887-1890!

The Cleveland parks are definitely different both from one another and the Silvam model*. I'm not sure if there's enough out there to do a particularly faithful job, but if folks want something different from the other parks I'm sure we can whip up something with the right look and feel. Same with that Philadelphia park, though I haven't looked much for info on that one.
I know dfswans has plans for some additional parks, and we'll keep adding to this thread once these parks are accounted for. I may try to finish the set of Union Association parks. But I also eventually need to make some more 1920s parks for the actual game I'm playing..
*Actually, I think I'm wrong about this. There were two "National League Park"s in Cleveland, but the first one was what's being called Kennard Street Park. The Spiders were in the AA 1887-1888 and the NL 1889-1890 before moving the the League Park (which Silvam made) that was renovated a few times and used into the 1940s.
