The Philadelphia Tigers were a Negro league baseball team that played briefly in the 1928 Eastern Colored League (ECL) before the circuit disbanded in early June. The Tigers, organized by Smittie Lucas, featured a few well-known east coast players, such as Bill Yancey, George Johnson, and McKinley Downs, but no real stars.
They played at Pencoyd Field,[1] which was near Wissahickon station in the Manayunk neighborhood of Philadelphia[2]at40°0′53″N 75°12′29″W / 40.01472°N 75.20806°W / 40.01472; -75.20806.[3]
After the ECL fell apart, the Tigers struggled on as a marginal independent team into July before disbanding.
