Editing Robison Field (section)

=== Cardinal Field ===

Once the Robison family was no longer associated with the team, the park was often called simply '''Cardinal Field''' in its final years. Breadon attained majority ownership in 1920 and decided that the nearly three-decades-old wooden ballpark was no longer adequate.

In mid-season 1920 the Cardinals abandoned this ballpark and moved back to [[Sportsman's Park]]. Their final game at the old park came on June 6,[https://www.retrosheet.org/boxesetc/1920/B06060SLN1920.htm] and after a road trip of three-plus weeks, they made their debut at the new park on July 1.[https://www.retrosheet.org/boxesetc/1920/B07010SLN1920.htm] The park had been rebuilt, owned and occupied by the [[American League]] version of the [[Baltimore Orioles|Browns]] since [[1902 in baseball|1902]].  The "Old" Sportsman's Park would outlive the "New" by some four decades.
