The following is a list of ballparks previously used by professional baseball teams. In addition to the current National (NL) and American (AL) leagues, Major League Baseball recognizes four short-lived other leagues as "major" for at least some portion of their histories; three of them played only in the 19th century, while a fourth played two years in the 1910s.
The name "Grounds" began to be attached to ballparks, starting with the Union Grounds in 1862. [citation needed] The suffixes "Field" and "Park" were still used, but many professional ballparks were "Grounds". The last major league "Grounds" was the Polo Grounds in New York City, which was razed in 1964.
The Polo Grounds was located on the Manhattan side of the Harlem River, at 155th Street and Eighth Avenue. Huston and Ruppert purchased the lumberyard from William Waldorf Astor for $600,000, equal to $10.9 million today. Construction began May 5, 1922 and Yankee Stadium opened to the public less than a year later.
