Hot Springs is home to a rich baseball tradition. Hot Springs were a popular destination for baseball training camps in the 20th century. Hot Springs is often referred to as the "birthplace of Spring training baseball". It was the site where Major League Baseball first arrived in 1886. The Chicago White Stockings brought their players and coaches to Hot Springs in preparation for the season. Albert Spalding of Chicago White Stockings, founder of A.G Spalding, and Cap Anson, player/manager, introduced the idea of players training and getting fit before the start the regular season. This was what earned Hot Springs the title of "birthplace" of spring training baseball. Spalding, like Anson, liked the city and its natural springs. The area where they first played was the Hot Springs Baseball Grounds. It is now known as the Garland County Courthouse, on Ouachita Ave. Chicago was followed by many other teams who began playing in Hot Springs.
Hot Springs was home to the following major league teams: The Cleveland Spiders (from Pittsburgh), Brooklyn Dodgers (from Brooklyn), Chicago Cubs (from Cincinnati), Detroit Tigers, New York Yankees), St. Louis Cardinals, Boston Red Sox, and New York Yankees (from New York). In order to provide additional venues for teams, Whittington Park was constructed in 1894. Majestic Park was added in 1908, and Fogel Field was added in 1912. It is known that 134 Baseball Hall of Fame members have played or trained in Hot Springs.
Hot Springs was also used by Negro league baseball teams for spring training. Fogel Field was used by the Pittsburgh Crawfords for spring training between 1932 and 1935. The roster included Baseball Hall of Fame Inductees Cool Papa Bell and Josh Gibson, as well as Judy Johnson and Oscar Charleston. Fogel Field was home to the Homestead Grays who held spring training in 1930 and 1931. Numerous Hall of Famers were on their roster: Cool Papa Bell and Josh Gibson, Jud Wilson, Bill Foster, and Judy Johnson.
St. Patrick's Day 1918 is known as the "Day That Changed Baseball Forever." Babe Ruth, Boston Red Sox's pitcher, hit a long Home Run into Arkansas Alligator Farm. This change in the course of baseball history was a game-changer. Ruth, who was playing at first base in the exhibition against Brooklyn at Whittington park, was an unexpected replacement. This was his first time at any other position than pitcher. Ruth was playing his first game on the field when he hit two home runs. His first home run was an impressive long ball that hit a pile of wood. His second home run, however, is legendary for its record-setting length and effect on Ruth. The shot traveled 573 feet.
