Iconic “A League Of Their Own Ballpark” Burns Down

The famous baseball stadium that was used in the filming of the 1992 classic movie, A League of Their Own, caught fire on Thursday night and is a total loss.    The Jay Littleton Ball Park in Ontario, California dates back to 1937 and was also used for filming in quite a few other films and the most current streaming reboot of the classic movie.

Those other films include:  1948’s The Babe Ruth Story, 1988’s Eight Men Out, and 1992’s The Babe.
The 1999 X-Files episode of “The Unnatural” also shot scenes at the ballpark.

There were no injuries sustained in the fire and the cause still remains under investigation.
