Warren Park, Bisbee, AZ, 1909 - Constructed in 1909 for the town miners, this ballpark is still around today making it one of the oldest active ballparks in the country. Hosted mostly games between town teams but in November of 1913 it held its first MLB game as the New York Giants routed the Chicago White Sox 9-1.
The ballpark was also the location of the infamous Bisbee Deportation incident when 1,300 miners in a labor dispute were kidnapped and held at Warren Park before being loaded into cattle cars and deported to New Mexico.
