I played little league there 1969,1970,and 1971.. it was located at 36th place and Rockwell, just east of the national Starch factory. for as long as I know,it was run by Sam Vitalo. I have no pictures of the area.the field is long gone..

if you copy and paste:

https://maps.google.com/maps?safe=active&q=3650+S+Rockwell+St,+Chicago,+IL&ie=UTF-8&hq=&hnear=0x880e2dfa71680365:0xff243b71deb41a26,3650+S+Rockwell+St,+Chicago,+IL+60632&gl=us&ei=CZ3uUtzYIcPxqQGe9oGoDw&ved=0CCcQ8gEwAA

it will show you where it once stood!
