Park Slope's Ye Olde Minor League Baseball Team

Posted by: AuthorMeredith | DateWednesday, March 9, 2011 at 12:01PM

Here's your fun Park Slope fact 'o the day: We used to have a baseball team right here in Park Slope. Ye olde Park Slope, 1883-1891 style. And they played right where your kids play 'n' poop 'n' spread viruses: JJ Byrne Park by the Old Stone House, right on Fifth Ave and 3rd St!

Check this shit out. And if you find it interesting, you should probably read Fifty-Nine in '84, where said fun Park Slope fact 'o the day was acquired. 

And why am I posting about this? Because it's fucking awesome. And because baseball (even, sigh, National League ball) > strollers. And because you know you're that jerk who shows off at cocktail parties. And because WATSON MUST BE DEFEATED.
