Some great pictures.
I remember going there with my parents as a kid (Family Night) and seeing all the great "future" Brooklyn Dodgers
like Don Drysdale, Johnny Podres, Gil Hodges, Chico Fernandes, Sandy Amaros, John Roseboro, and many many more.
Pee Wee Reese, and Jackie Robinson and Chuck "The Rifleman" Conners were before my time.
In the mid 50's we used to go to games by bicycle from the Park crossing Jacques Cartier Bridge.... Try that today.
If I remember correctly General Admission was $1.00 and you could get a Box for $2.00.
One of the last games I saw there was The Brooklyn Dodgers of the day against the Montreal Royals in an exhibition game.
I think the Dodgers moved to LA the next year.
