What is meant by the baseball term Hogans Brickyard was this a stadium or something?
As Boston has a large Irish population, this may have some connection with the Beantown ball park- Fenway Park. Could refer to brick construction of grandstands, walls,etc also. I have run across this phrase in old slang dictionaries and it is never adequately defined but does have an application in Baseball. Could refer to part of Fenway Park. No known connection with Hogan"s heroes.

Oldest MLB stadium?
The oldest ballpark in MLB history is Fenway Park, home of the Boston Red Sox, built in 1912. (the opening of Fenway Park was overshadowed by the tragic sinking of the Titanic.) It is currently the oldest ballpark in the MLB (as of 2010). Fenway Park is known nation wide for its "green monster," or the giant green wall in left field. As of June 13, 2009, Fenway Park has been up and running for 97 years.Until 1990 Chicago White Sox' Comiskey Park (briefly known as 'the baseball palace of the world') was the oldest baseball stadium in the world. It was built in 1910 on Chicago's South Side. However Comiskey Park was torn down in 1990 in favor of building the 'New Comiskey Park' (currently known as U.S. Cellular Field. or simply, 'The Cell')The next oldest park in baseball belongs to the Chicago Cubs. Wrigley Field was built on Chicago's North Side in 1914. Most people regard it as a dilapidated, decaying and deteriorated dump of a "stadium" and feel that it should have been torn down decades ago. Wrigley Field didn't even get lights for night games until 1988, some 60 plus years after everyone else started using them. The Cubs haven't won a World Series title in over a century (102 years). This is the longest drought for any professional Sports team in history. Wrigley Field is cherished for its old fashioned history, green green grass, (not turf) original Ivy, and the preservation of its roots. Improvements have been made over the years, reluctantly, infringing on the sentimentality of the fans who pack this particular field, (to capacity) win or lose, rain or shine.
Why do baseball fields have hand operated scoreboards?
I assume the question refers only to major league baseball. It's nostalgia! There is no major sport more mired in and wired to tradition than major league baseball. e.g., the new Fenway looks like the old Fenway. Perhaps the thinking is that the manual scoreboards soften the blow of the ten $ beer.
How many people does fenway park hold?
38,805Fenway Park had the smallest seating capacity in the major leagues for a number of years, but that is no longer the case. A number of the classic ballparks had seating capacities under 40,000, and some were smaller than Fenway. Montreal's Jarry Park was smallest of all the modern ballparks, at about 28,000. At the time of Jarry Park's closing in 1977, the other old ballparks were gone, and Fenway's capacity was listed (according to Sporting News Baseball Guides) at 33,513, making it the smallest in the majors at that point. Fenway began to grow incrementally over the next three decades, as pockets of seating areas were added from time to time. For the 2007 season, Fenway Park's capacity was increased to 38,805, rendering Fenway as the third smallest, behind Tropicana Field and PNC Park. (McAfee Coliseum has the smallest official capacity in the majors due to a tarp over the upper deck, but with those seats it is larger than any of these. McAfee's replacement, Cisco Field, should become the smallest park when it opens.) By Fenway Park's centennial in 2012, the team has announced that capacity could be increased to as much as 39,968. Capacity has increased in recent years as additional rows have been added in front of the field boxes in former foul territory (the "Dugout Seats"), on top of "The Green Monster" (the "Monster Seats"), atop the right field roof (the "Right Field Roof Seats"), in 2006 to the roof boxes (the "Pavilion Seats"), which has been raised by about 10 feet, to the former .406 Club (now the EMC club and HP Pavilion), and in 2007 through the addition of "Conigliaro's Corner" in right field and additional standing room in left field. There have been proposals to increase the seating capacity to as much as 45,000 through the expansion of the upper decks, while others (notably former team owners, the JRY Trust) have called for razing the historic ballpark entirely and building a similar, but larger and more modern, scalable facility nearby. Any such action would likely be met by strong local opposition. Fenway Park also has standing room areas on the Roof, HP Pavilion, Green Monster and throughout the park.
What do old football stadiums look like?
Before they moved to Soldier Field, for example, the Chicago Bears played in Wrigley Field. They looked similar to today's stadiums without the fancy VIP boxes. Football was also played at Fenway Park.
