Many of us have fond memories of attending Wetzel Field on Trenton's Morris Avenue and either watching a long forgotten "INDUSTRIAL LEAGUE" baseball game, perhaps a city-wide baseball championship game, or heard your great grandfather recall being at the game where Babe Ruth socked a ball completely out of the expansive ball park. This page presents a very interesting early history of what was once the home field of the Trenton High students who attended the original Trenton High School on Chestnut and Hamilton Avenues.

HI TOM....I'M ONE OF THE GREAT GRANDFATHERS WHO SAW EVERYTHING YOU MENTIONED BELOW. I SAW AND PLAYED IN MANY OF THE LEAGUE GAMES AT WETZEL AND WAS THERE WHEN THE BABE HIT ONE OUT OF THE PARK. WETZEL FIELD WAS MY SECOND HOME DURING THE 30'S AND EARLIER WHEN IT WAS ALSO A PLAYGROUND. I ALSO RECALL WATCHING MY BROTHER LOU PRACTICE FOOTBALL ON THE TRENTON HIGH TEAM IN THE 20'S; LOU GEHRIG WAS ALSO WITH THE BABE WHEN HE WAS THERE. BEST REGARDS
