Also known as Bluegrass Field, this one is close to home as I live in Kentucky and commute close to this site. The semipro Lexington Hustlers were an experiment in reverse as they were a Negro League team that accepted a white player, an infielder named Bobby Flynn. His son Doug was an infielder for the Reds and Mets in the 1970s. The team played at Bluegrass Athletic Park off of Newtown Pike until the team folded sometime in the 1950s. In addition to hosting the Hustlers, it served as a neutral site for several Negro League games. In 1954 it was renamed League Park and served as the home of the Class C Lexington Colts of the Mountain States League. While the field is gone today, a nearby street leading to a youth field is named John Scoop Brown Way, after the Hustlers' first baseman and manager. Not a lot of info is easily found about the park, so dimensions were approximated from an aerial photo:
