Wikipedia - "As previously noted, Crosley Field was usually among the smallest parks in Major League Baseball, both in seating capacity and playing field size. Probably the most famous (or notorious) feature of Crosley Field otherwise was the fifteen-degree left field incline, called 'the terrace'. Terraces were not unusual in old ballparks. Most of them were constructed as a way to make up the difference between field level and street level on a sloping block. And most of them were leveled out ('Duffy's Cliff' at Fenway Park is one example) or covered by bleachers (as with Ebbets Field and Wrigley Field, for example)."
