Notes: Opened in 1932 as Travelers Field, it has served as the home for professional baseball in the Arkansas state capital through the 2006 season. The stadium was renamed in 1966 for Ray Winder, a long-time driving force for professional baseball in Little Rock. The right field wall was brought in the 1960s to allow for the construction of the East-West Expressway (I-630). A ball clearing the wall and the screen would land in another ZIP Code. The Historic Preservation Alliance of Arkansas has put Ray Winder Field on its 2006 Most Endangered Historic Places List since the future use of the ballpark has yet to be determined. In 2007, the Texas League franchise moved across the river to a new stadium, Dickey-Stephens Park, in North Little Rock.
