About this park

Terrapin Park was Baltimore's Federal League home for a blink — 1914 and 1915, a challenger-league yard in a city that already knew big-league noise. It did not last long enough to become a cathedral, but it held real pennant arguments while the Federal League burned bright. Honest empty decades later; the years in the library still name it.
