The Fort Worth Cats Today
The new Cats began play just north of downtown Fort Worth in 2001.
Former Cats' owner Carl Bell commissioned a new ballpark to be built directly on top of the former stadium's location. Home plate is exactly where it was in 1926 when the old facility opened. On May 23, 2002 the Cats opened up the season at the original site of LaGrave Field in their brand new home. While waiting for the new LaGrave Field to be completed, the team played at Lon Goldstein Field.
The team's mascot is Dodger, whose namesake is a tribute to the Cats' affiliation with the great Brooklyn Dodgers teams in the 1940s and 1950s.

And dew is cold upon the ground,
And the far-off stream is dumb,
And the whirring sail goes round,

Alone and warming his five wits,
The white owl in the belfry sits.”

—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
