Historic LA Ball Park Seen In 'A League Of Their Own,' Other Movies Destroyed By Fire

ONTARIO, CA — A baseball park in Southern California, known for being a popular filming location in movies, was destroyed by a fire overnight.

The fire was reported around 11:30 p.m. Thursday at Jay Littleton Ball Park in the 1000 block of North Grove Avenue in Ontario, according to the Ontario Fire Department.

Responding firefighters told ABC 7 that they encountered massive flames coming from the stadium and dugout upon arrival. While firefighters worked to quell the flames, little could be done to save the stadium.

With five fire engines and two trucks, the first responders were able to extinguish the flames, authorities said.

The cause of the fire remains under investigation, and no injuries were reported.

The historic baseball field was build in the '30s with a wooden frame grandstand, according to the City of Ontario's website. It has been featured in several Hollywood films, including the 1992 film "A League of Their Own" starring Tom Hanks, Madonna, Rosie O'Donnell and Geena Davis.

A GoFundMe was created by Ontario Eastern Little League to fund reconstruction on the park.

"Jay Littleton Ball Park was unfortunately destroyed by a fire on the evening of August 22," the GoFundMe said. "This historic ballpark was built in 1937 and stood as a pillar of the baseball community in Southern California since then."
