Ainsworth Field Entrance Circa 1967

Ainsworth Field in Erie, PA prior to its renovation.

Thousands of fans have passed through the gates at Ainsworth Field in Erie, PA. The ballpark is located at West 23rd and Washington Place, right behind Roosevelt School. Baseball legend Babe Ruth played here. So did the Erie Sailors and the Erie Cardinals. The Erie Tigers, a name that is almost lost to history, played one season at Ainsworth in 1967. Their logo is painted above the old entrance to Ainsworth, aiding in dating this photo of the park prior to its renovation.
