Live Oaks Base Ball Grounds
From BR Bullpen
Not much is known about Live Oaks Base Ball Grounds, such as what its dimensions were, what it looked like, its exact location or what happened to it. There are only two things known with certainty about this ballpark: 1) It was the home of the Live Oaks Base Ball Club until 1867; and 2) It was the first home of the Cincinnati Red Stockings for the 1866 season. During the off-season, the team moved to Lincoln Park Grounds.
