Recreation Park (DET)
July 4, 1887: Before there was a Navin Field, a Briggs Stadium or a Tiger Stadium, The National League's Detroit Wolverines played baseball at Recreation Park on the near east side of town at the corner of Brush and Brady Streets. The team did not draw well, even after winning the championship in 1887, and folded in 1888 after just eight seasons in the National League.
