Baker Bowl

The Baker Bowl (officially the National League Park, as well as other names) was a baseball park that stood in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It was notorious for its field layout, which allowed for relatively easy homeruns. This unfortunate design played its part in relegating the Philadelphia Phillies to the bottom of the National League for most of its existance.

He was able to show some power as a hitter with six home-runs to his credit, which was a record number for a pitcher. However, the Baker Bowl's design flaws took much of the luster off that record.
