California fire destroys baseball stadium featured in 'A League of Their Own'

The Jay Littleton Ballpark in Ontario is "a total loss," a city spokesperson said.

A California baseball stadium featured in the Hollywood blockbuster “A League of Their Own” was destroyed by a fire late Thursday, officials 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. Matthiesen described conditions at the park in recent years as “dilapidated” with a rise in the number of unhoused people living there, but said there were signs of improvement at the baseball field.
