SULPHUR DELL PARK
Nashville, Tennessee
Nashville's first professional baseball team, the Americans in the newly-formed Southern League, debuted here in 1885.  The park was appropriately named for a natural sulphur spring nearby.  Due to bordering streets and a railroad spur, the site was rectangular, which determined dimensions to the outfield fence: LF 334, CF 421, RF 262.  An inside embankment accommodated overflow crowds and surrounded the outfield.  Top of the right field embankment was 22 1/2 feet above the infield!  In its 100-year existence, the Americans, Seraphs, Tigers, Vols and Negro League Elite Giants all played here.  In September 1963 the Vols played their final game here as a member of the South Atlantic League after 61 years in the Southern Association, 1901-61.  Historic Sulphur Dell was demolished in 1969.
