Lewis Park

Lewis Park, later renamed Martin Stadium, was built by Robert S. Lewis Sr. in Memphis and became home to the Memphis Red Sox of the Negro Leagues. Lewis sold the park and the team to Dr. W. S. Martin and his brothers in 1927, making it one of the few Black-owned and operated ballparks in the country. The Red Sox played there for decades, including their 1938 Negro American League championship season, before the park was demolished in 1961.
