Stadium & Field Tribute

Payne Park was a professional baseball park from 1924 to 1989 in Sarasota, serving as the Spring Training home for the New York Giants, Boston Red Sox, and Chicago White Sox. The stadium closed in 1989 when replaced by Ed Smith Stadium. Payne Park stadium and field were built on a portion of 60 acres of land donated by Calvin Payne and his wife, Martha.
