A Winter Wetzel Field View, Villa Park
This is a new picture taken a few days ago.
This picture was taken through a fence on Chambers
Street:)
A Blog about the Chambersburg area of Trenton NJ. The Burg we all loved and miss. If you were from the Burg I hope many of the pictures and lists and comments under them from good folks bring back some nice memories. Villa Park, Franklin Park, South Trenton, and nearby Hamilton also mentioned. Use the search box atop the blog to find schools,churches,streets,stores,bars etc that you remember. Over 4000 posts and 3000 pics. Enjoy:)

Hi Mack: I miss the big grandstand in back of home plate and the blechers along first base. Wetzel Field was the hub of every league in Trenton. On weekends you had the City League and the Central Jersey League. On week nights there was the Twilight League and the Industrial League. In addition you had all the Trenton High and Playground League games. I played in all of the them except the Central Jersey League. This was in the 30s when the only thing you could afford to do was play sports. It could be one of the reasons why I'm still around. Keep up the good work Mike.
Hi Ralph:)
We used to climb on the roof of
the building behind home plate which is no longer there. I remember the bleachers too, they
were there in my Burg day as well.
From what I hear they were taken
down sometime in the 1990s:)
