Legion Field

Legion Field was a Pensacola ballpark fronting on Gregory and H Streets featuring a single-decked, wooden grandstand. Its home team was the Pensacola Fliers.

On March 31. 1929, the New York Yankees — including star players Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig — played the Fliers as part of a spring training tour of the South. More than 3,000 fans turned out for the game, which the Yankees won 12-2.
