Rosenthal Field was a ballpark in Lubbock, Texas. It opened in 1948 as Hubber Park but the wife of Sam Rosenthal, who dedicated himself to building up the Lubbock Hubbers into a championship team, changed the name almost immediately to Rosenthal Field.[1][2] By mid 1954 it was called Odam field.[3]
