United States
Bovard Field was a stadium in Los Angeles , California , on the campus of the University of Southern California . The Trojans football team played here until they moved to Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum in 1923 and it was the home of USC baseball until Dedeaux Field opened in 1974 , about 500 yards (460 m ) to the northwest. The football stadium and running track held 12,000 people at its peak, and ran southwest to northeast, near and parallel to today's Watt Way.[1] elevation of the field is approximately 175 feet (53 m ) above sea level .
The baseball field was aligned (home to center field) similar to Dedeaux Field, but a few degrees clockwise , nearly true north , but just slightly west. Home plate was located in today's E.F. Hutton Park and left field was bounded by Watt Way.[1] [2] eucalyptus tree came into play; while its trunk was in foul territory, some of its branches crossed into fair territory and guarded the foul line in shallow right field.[3]
Mickey Mantle
[ edit ]
In March 1951, a 19-year-old Mickey Mantle of the New York Yankees , about to embark on his rookie season in the majors , went 4-for-5 with a pair of home runs, one from each side of the plate against the Trojans in an exhibition game. The home run as a leftie was a massive shot that went well beyond the right field fence into the football practice field, during spring drills.[4] [5] [6] [7]
