The site of the former Crosley Field is unrecognizable now except for this painted plate for where home plate would have been. Crosley Field researcher Mike Weaver located home plate using site maps from 1970. Home plate is in the alley, between the former Trane building (to the right) and Phillips Supply (to the left). Third base is barely visible in the distance in the alley at the rear of the Trane building. The left field foul pole was located 328 feet from home plate, just to the right of the edge of the gray building.
