Tinker Field in Orlando, Florida, is a historic landmark that has played a pivotal role in sports, culture, and civil rights. Established in 1914, it served as a spring training site for Major League Baseball teams and hosted legendary figures like Jackie Robinson and Babe Ruth. Beyond sports, it became a cultural hub, hosting concerts by icons like The Rolling Stones, and in 1964, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his only speech in Orlando from its grounds. Though the original structures were demolished in 2015, the Tinker Field History Plaza now preserves its legacy, ensuring its impact on baseball, music, and civil rights is never forgotten.
