about About Us

Welcome to LeaguePark.Org,the home of The League Park Society, Inc. or LPS. The League Park Society, Inc. was founded in May 2008 as an exploratory committee by persons from across America interesting in preserving and restoring historic League Park in Cleveland, Ohio. On August 4, 2008 we were incorporated in the State of Ohio as a 501(c)(3) non profit corporation.

As the site webmaster my interest in the history and preservation of League Park began prior to my visit to Cleveland, Ohio in June of 2007. While preparing for my visit to Cleveland, League Park came to my attention. The more I studied the history of the old ball park the more I became interested in background and condition of this great landmark. The history of League Park is amazing!

The visit to League Park on June 30, 2007 was not disappointing. Walking on the same field where Cy Young, Ty Cobb, Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, George Kell, Ted Williams and Bob Feller played was a thrill. On that day I decided to work to let others know about this special place and to assist in the preserving and improving this national historic baseball landmark.

As you visit this web site I hope you will enjoy discovering this hidden baseball treasure. We have begun this endeavor to preserve, protect and restore America's Historic Ballpark. Your assistance no matter how small will help our national campaign to save and restore League Park for future generations. Today we are working as partners with Hough neighborhood residents, the City of Cleveland and many others to make this dream come true. This effort will take time, money and hard work. I invite you to help us and our partners save League Park for future generations. Let's play ball again again at League Park.

Sincerely,

David A. Jones
