Beginning in 1884, at the corner of Findlay St. and Western Ave. in Cincinnati,
the Reds built 4 different ballparks on this site. This included a completely
new facility in 1884 and 1912, while the 1894 and 1902 parks are probably best
referred to as renovations instead of "new" parks, since in both cases the new
facility included a new main grandstand and adjacent bleachers, but also
included much of the old stands.

1884-1893, Cincinnati Ball Park or League Park;

1893-1900, Cincinnati Park or Cincinnati Ball Park (or League Park 2 as it is
often called today);

1900-1901, temporary quarters on the same grounds after League Park 2 burned; I
am not including this as a "new" park

1902-1911, Palace of the Fans;

1912-1970, Redland/Crosley Field.

Is there any other major league ballpark site that has been home to four
different ballparks?
