Martin Stadium, originally known as Lewis Park, was a baseball park in Memphis, Tennessee, which served as the home stadium of the Memphis Red Sox, a Negro league baseball team, in the 1920s through 1959.
[1][2][3] The park was built in 1923 by the team owner, local businessman Robert S.
[4] The Red Sox were one of only a few teams in the Negro leagues to have owned their own stadium,[5] allowing them scheduling flexibility not widely enjoyed by their peers and removing the cost of gate fees on leased facilities.
[4] After spending decades more acting as the home of the Red Sox and as a space for community events,[1] the Martin brothers sold the stadium in 1960 after disbanding the baseball team, whereupon it was demolished the next year.
[2] The site is now home to a semi-truck dealer and has an historical marker.
