Before the Cleveland Indians baseball team moved into Progressive Field in 1994 they played in the "mistake by the lake" officially known as Cleveland Municipal Stadium. Before that, however, the Indians played in an obscure little ballpark three miles east of downtown called League Park.
League Park had been around before the Indians came along. Cleveland had a team in the National League for a while called the Spiders and they played at League Park. Cy Young pitched the first game there in 1891 for the Spiders. It was also the home of the Cleveland Buckeyes of the Negro American League. It was located at the northeast corner of Lexington Avenue and E. 66th Street.
