Panther Park
Panther Park was the name of two ballparks located in Fort Worth, Texas. They were the home fields of the Fort Worth Cats (Texas League), Fort Worth Panthers from 1911 to 1925 and from 1926 onward, respectively. The first park was initially called Morris Park, after club owner J. Walter Morris. The facility replaced Haines Park which existed from 1902 through 1910. By November 1914, after four seasons, Morris sold his interest in the club, and the new owner renamed it Panther Park. Morris/Panther Park (I) seated only 4,000 fans. The third base grandstand initially did not have a canopy to protect the fans from the relentless heat. The first base grandstand had a canopy, and the third base side later had a canopy added. The park was located on the "west side of North Main Street between 6th and 7th Streets". Its more precise location, per the 1925 news article, was North Throckmorton Street (northeast, third base), which is two blocks southeast of Main; Northwest 6th Street (south ...

Baseball Venues In The Dallas–Fort Worth Metroplex
Baseball is a bat-and-ball sport played between two teams of nine players each, taking turns batting and fielding. The game occurs over the course of several plays, with each play beginning when a player on the fielding team, called the pitcher, throws a ball that a player on the batting team, called the batter, tries to hit with a bat. The objective of the offensive team (batting team) is to hit the ball into the field of play, away from the other team's players, allowing its players to run the bases, having them advance counter-clockwise around four bases to score what are called " runs". The objective of the defensive team (referred to as the fielding team) is to prevent batters from becoming runners, and to prevent runners advancing around the bases. A run is scored when a runner legally advances around the bases in order and touches home plate (the place where the player started as a batter). The initial objective of the batting team is to have a player rea ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
