Junction Park
Two baseball diamonds were built on the infield of the racetrack in 1908, and the grandstands at the park were expanded to seat more than 10,000 people. There, teams from all over the region would stage their big games. Amateur and semi-pro teams from Beaver Falls and Rochester played major league clubs in exhibition games there each summer. Players such as Honus Wagner, Max Carey and the great Negro Leagues slugger Josh Gibson played on the Junction Park diamonds.
