Hilltop Park

Some photos of Hilltop Park can be seen here. Seems it existed as a ballpark and a home for the Highlanders/Yankees for just over ten years; it was demolished in 1914.

Legend on Photo says Phila. Americans, instead of Athletics.

[Philadelphia Americans is short for Philadelphia American League team. As opposed to the Philadelphia Nationals. - Dave]
