Hinchliffe Stadium opened in 1932. It has hosted semipro football, soccer, track
and field, boxing, concerts and even auto racing. It's biggest claim to fame however
came in 1933 when the New York Black Yankees first began playing at this
stadium. They would go to the Negro National League Championships versus the Philadelphia
Stars that season and all of their championship home games would be
played here in Hinchliffe. They would lose to the stars, but they were thrilled
with the ballpark. By 1934, it became their regular home ballpark, where they
would spend the majority of their career. |
