For my SABR Games Project debut (link in bio), I had to keep it in New Jersey: the first home game of the Federal League's Newark Peppers, 106 years ago today. Nine years ago, I went to the former site of the field, Harrison Park, when it was these old buildings and a parking lot. It's now a luxury apartment complex, with the site of home plate now probably in the courtyard or someone's living room. These buildings stood across the street from the location of the third-base grandstand, the second slide would've been looking toward home plate from that third-base/left-field grandstand, and the shot through the fence would've been looking out from behind home plate. ⚾ ⚾ ⚾ #sabr #sabrgamesproject #harrisonnj #newarkpeppers #newarkfederals #federalleague #baseballhistory (at Harrison, New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNvN4IVA2Xf/?igshid=1wtpp0p1ez4z0
