The history of Lakeland Baseball

Lakeland Baseball has a rich history dating back to the late 1800s. The league was founded in 1885 as the Lakeland Amateur Athletic Association. The league’s first game was played on April 28, 1886 between the Lakeland Athletic Club and the Highland Park Athletic Club. The game was played at Highland Park and ended in a tie, 2-2.

The league became very popular in the early years and grew to include teams from all over Michigan. In 1887, the league expanded to include teams from Ohio and Indiana. In 1888, the league became known as the Lakeland Professional Athletic Association and began charging players for their participation.

The league continued to grow in popularity and by 1890, it was one of the largest professional baseball leagues in the country. In 1893, the league expanded to include teams from Canada and soon became known as the National League

Despite its success, the league folded in 1898 due to financial difficulties. It was not until 1902 that another professional baseball team came to Lakeland when the Detroit Tigers moved their spring training operation here.

The Tigers trained at Henley Field until 1917 when they moved to Concentration Camp Winebarger (now Tigertown) during World War I. Baseball would not return to Henley Field until 1920 when it became home to a new team in the Florida State League, known as the Lakeland Highlanders (later renamed the Pilots).

The Pilots would call Henley Field home until 1963 when they moved to Connie Mack Stadium. The stadium, which seated 4,000 fans, was demolished in 1986 and is now occupied by a shopping center.

In 1966, another Florida State League team moved to Lakeland and took on the name of the Pilots. This team would play at Tigertown until 1972 when it was replaced by a new team in
