Over 20 Hall of Famers graced Hinchliffe's hallowed grounds, many of whom played in the Negro Leagues.Hinchliffe's horseshoe style is reminiscent of the Polo Grounds, the long-time home of baseball's New York Giants. Paterson's ballpark opened to great fanfare in July of 1932. The sports promoters of the day noticed that when visiting African American ballclubs played at Hinchliffe Stadium, attendance would increase.The following year, Hinchliffe Stadium was one of the sites for the 1933 Colored Championship of the Nation. Although the series was mired in controversy, that series was the impetus for having steady Negro Leagues games at Hinchliffe beginning with the 1934 season.Hinchliffe Stadium served as the home park for the New York Black Yankees, New York Cubans, and on occasion, the Newark Eagles.In 1942, Larry Doby, a fresh-faced graduate of Paterson's Eastside High School was offered a tryout with the Newark Eagles at Hinchliffe Stadium. Doby made the ball club, a day that would change his life forever.
