Despite the dreary weather, we were excited to attend the Rossmere Base Ball Park plaque dedication today, honoring the history of baseball in Lancaster. From the Lancaster Red Roses to the Harrisburg Giants and the Negro Leagues, baseball has a lasting legacy in the community. The dedication took place at Lancaster Catholic High School, which was once home to Rossmere Baseball Park, Lancaster's premier baseball venue. It is also where the beloved Harrisburg Giants played from 1925 to 1927. You can learn more about the history of the Harrisburg Giants and the Negro Leagues by visiting LancasterHistory's latest exhibit, "Open The Door: Baseball’s Color Line in Central Pennsylvania," on display until August 30. Tickets for museum exhibits are available for purchase online or at the door.
