1909: TRENTON TIGERS AT TRI STATE BASEBALL FIELD

The above graphics are primitive offset photos of a Decoration Day baseball game at Trenton's Tri-State field, located on W. State Street and now the site of the old Junior 3. The Tri State League was composed of teams much like the old Interstate League of the 1940's and early 1950's.

1907: TRENTON'S OLD "TRI-STATE"BASEBALL FIELD

This early offset newspaper photo is not as clear as I would like to see, but with a bit of Photoshopping I was able to bring out a semblance of recognition of one of Trenton's popular sports fields from the early part of the 20th century. The Tri-State league was much like the old Interstate League with teams from Lancaster, and other towns within the tri state area. It was also the host to numerous major league teams who visited for practice and exhibition games. It was located on land currently occupied by Junior 3 in the Cadwalader section of Trenton. The YMCA field was also located in that area, a bit east of the Tri-State.
