1911 AND 1934: Trenton's Fabled Wetzel Field
How well I recall the Wetzel Field of my youth. Don Slabicki and I spent many evenings over on that field at Morris and Chambers Street watching the guys from the Industrial League who had a game there nearly every afternoon. The field has an interesting history. On November 9, 1906, the field was established for the use of the students at Trenton High School, which at the time was located on Hamiltn and Chestnut Avenues. It was known as Morris Field, and later changed to Wetzel Field, in honor of Dr. William Wetzel, Principal of Trenton High School.
