A California baseball stadium featured in the Hollywood blockbuster “A League of Their Own” was destroyed by a fire late Thursday, officials said.
The Jay Littleton Ballpark, in Ontario, California, went up in flames about 11:30 p.m. and is a “a total loss,” city spokesperson Dan Bell said.
“If you look up and down the street, you have baseball lovers everywhere,” Ontario Eastern League president Aaron Matthiesen told NBC Los Angeles, adding that some were in tears.
“This ballpark has been the heart of Ontario, the historic ballpark, the place to play for our kids.
“I have two young kids in our league, and the dream has always been that they get to play at Jay Littleton,” he said.
