This is driving me crazy. How about another hint?
This tree is notable for its location. I would say former location, but the tree hasn't moved, just everything around it has changed. It used to be located somewhere trees are almost never located, in fact this might have been the only one, at least in the 20th century.

Crap, maybe I shouldn't have given the type of tree. My next hint was all queued up, too:

 

Everyone agreed the tree was very fair, and while some probably thought unfair was a better description, nobody would have called it a foul tree.

Here's a great picture of the park out to CF. The tree in question is the one slightly to the right of center, but as you can see there was simply no CF fence... fair territory goes all the way back to that barrier that guards a railroad track.

According to that website only two players ever hit the tree. One was Eddie Matthews.

I find it interesting that the scoreboard has ads for Miller, Pabst, and Budweiser. Three competing companies. Don't see that anymore.
