Ebbetts Field was always a crappy venue, and by 1955 the surrounding neighborhood was getting crappy alongside it. It was notorious for bad night game lighting, a sloping outfield due to the settling of the garbage that it was built upon, and had not been well maintained since before WWII. It's public address system dated to 1930, it's revenue collection system was just as old. The field never drained properly, rain would pool in the outfield even in a mild drizzle. It's plumbing was notoriously bad, sometimes Dodger players would shower in nearby fans houses instead of hoping there would be hot water on a particular day. |
