Vintage backgrounds: Pompano Beach Municipal Stadium

Pompano Beach Municipal Stadium was the Spring Home of the Senators/Rangers franchise from their inception in 1961 through 1986. The stadium was torn down in 2008 and there are now youth baseball fields at the site.

I was drawn to the signs behind Bill Fahey in this photo. Harris Imperial House was a Tiki Bar/Chinese Restaurant owned by Greek immigrant Sam Harris and his Irish wife. Clint "Pappy" Fowlkes bought Mays Chevrolet in Pompano Beach in 1968, and retired in 1983. It is now Lou Bachrodt Chevrolet.
