The arrival of the National League Houston Colt .45s in 1962 brought an end to minor league baseball in Houston. It also went by the names of Buff Stadium and later Busch Stadium. It was bounded by Leeland Street, St. Bernard Street (present-day Cullen Boulevard), Coyle Street, and Milby Street in the East End.〔(1935 Houston Map showing location of Buffalo Stadium as "Ball Park" )〕 The railroad tracks leading to Union Station, site of the Houston Astros' current ballpark, ran behind the center field wall. Near the University of Houston, the stadium was also home to the Houston Cougars baseball team during the 1940s. Before Buff Stadium, baseball teams in Houston played at West End Park from 1905 until 1928; Buff Stadium was built on the East End of Houston.〔(From Buffs to Astros, Houston keeps going to bat for baseball - Houston Business Journal: )〕 West End Park was located at the southeast corner of Andrews and Heiner Streets, on the southwest edge of present-day downtown.〔(1913 Map of Houston indicating location of West End Park as "Ball Park" )〕 Home plate's specific location, until 2013, was commemorated by a plaque in the Houston Sports Hall of Fame, which comprised part of the Finger Furniture Store. ==History== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Buffalo Stadium」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
