Glover Stadium in Anaheim, California is a historic sports venue located in La Palma Park. Named after Dick Glover, a long-time employee of the Anaheim Union High School District, the stadium holds significance as a former spring training base for the Philadelphia Athletics in the late 1930s and 1940s. Despite the interruption caused by World War II, Glover Stadium remains a testament to Anaheim's rich sports history.
Constructed in 1939, the stadium played host to the Athletics, who utilized the nearby Angelina, Pickwick, and Valencia Hotels as their camp headquarters. Although the team was unable to return after the war due to a shortage of accommodations, Glover Stadium stands as a reminder of Anaheim's role in attracting professional baseball teams to Southern California for spring training.
