100 Ballparks that can be used in Fictional Leagues

100 ballparks for use as fictional stadiums. I've taken CCM01's idea a step further and laid out a pattern that allows a bigger ballpark picture, as well as repositions the player boxes in what I feel is a more pleasing layout. I've reversed the fielders to put the outfielders at the top of the list and the catcher at the bottom with the pitcher. I've also moved the batter between the pitcher and catcher, with the runners moving to the left, as would be seen from behind home plate. Each runner overlays the base he's on. As an added touch, left handed batters display just a bit "south" of right handed batters so it's easy to pick out the difference between left and right-handed batters when they come to the plate.

I've used photos of minor league facilities, my fictional ballparks as well as others, architectural renderings, and a few paintings/drawings. Basically everything I've collected for some "future use". The images have a place for a team logo (upper left corner) and a team/stadium name (bottom). I use Jasc Paint Shop Pro as my graphics package (about $100) but many others will work as well. Be sure to convert these to BMP files.

Here's the player X-Y positions you should use for these images ...
